Abstract : “XRBs population in dusty early-type galaxies”. We present here results based on sample of early type galaxies that host dust lanes and have retrieved the X-ray observational data from the NASA's Chandra X-ray data archieve. I have cleaned and reduced the raw data using ciao 4.9. After cleaning the raw image I detected point sources within the D25 region, using wavdetect task. Further, I extracted the X-ray counts from individual point source in three different energy bands namely soft (0.3-1 keV), mid (1-2 keV) and hard (2-10 keV) and have derived X-ray colors of the resolved sources. These values of X-ray colors were then used to classify the resolved sources in different classes like, normal low mass XRBs with neutron star as the accretor, soft sources, high mass XRBs, and hard AGNs. For those sources whose X-ray counts are sufficiently high, we have performed spectral analysis of the sources and investigated their emission characteristics.
