Figure 2: Metallicity corrected LMXB probability as a function of mass, fit using binning, with 7 bins. Fits with different numbers of bins produce results which are the same within statistical errors. Changing the metallicity correction between 0.20 and 0.30 has no effect on the mass exponent, as expected given the absence of correlations between cluster mass and metallicity. |
