Exif II* & ^ 1 2 ; ! i IC 10 is a starburst galaxy that has many new stars forming within it. Chandra observations taken over a decade reveal 110 X-ray sources in IC 10, including about a dozen that are black holes and neutron stars feeding off gas from young, massive stellar companions (systems known as “X-ray binaries”). Some of these pairs may eventually form systems that merge and emit gravitational waves.
