• THE EFFECT OF STARBURST METALLICITY ON BRIGHT X-RAY BINARY FORMATION PATHWAYS (2010, background): “Other arguments point to ULXs as a natural extension of the HMXB population (Grimm et al. 2003b).”
• THE ORIGIN AND OPTICAL DEPTH OF IONIZING RADIATION IN THE “GREEN PEA” GALAXIES (2013, unknown): “The Grimm et al. (2003) relation between the SFR and the number of luminous HMXBs results in an even worse discrepancy, with only 20-89 HMXBs expected in the Peas.”
• X-Ray Thermal Coronae of Galaxies in Hot Clusters: Ubiquity of Embedded Mini-Cooling Cores (2006, background): “In any sense, if we attribute the hard X-ray emission to emission from highmass X-ray binaries (HMXB), the estimated SFR from theLX - SFR correlation by Grimm et al. (2003) is> 12 M⊙/yr, which makes ESO 349-009 a starburst galaxy.”
• X-Ray Luminosity Function and Total Luminosity of Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries in Early-Type Galaxies (2003, methodology): “For the Milky Way, the optical luminosity of the bulge was taken from Cox (1999) and the X-ray luminosity of LMXBs from Grimm et al. (2003), while for M31, the optical luminosity is from Kent (1989) and the X-ray luminosity from Trinchieri and Fabbiano (1991).”
• THE NUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPIC TELESCOPE ARRAY (NuSTAR) HIGH-ENERGY X-RAY MISSION (2013, background): “For example, INTEGRAL results suggest that there may be a large number of low-luminosity HMXBs, an important consideration when the HMXB luminosity function is used as a star formation rate indicator in distant galaxies (Grimm et al. 2003).”
• Compact Object Modeling with the StarTrack Population Synthesis Code (2005, background): “…may also result in an independent diagnostic of star formation rates for nearby galaxies, since both the numbers and properties of XRBs are directly connected to the star formation history (see, e.g., Grimm et al. 2003; Gilfanov 2004; Kim & Fabbiano 2004; K. Belczynski et al. 2008, in preparation).”
• The Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Population from the Chandra Archive of Galaxies (2004, background): “…deduced through studies of the cumulative X-ray luminosity functions of nearby galaxies: The flat slopes of the XLFs implies that the most luminous sources dominate the total X-ray luminosity of spiral and starburst galaxies (e.g., Kilgard et al. 2002; Grimm et al. 2003; Colbert et al. 2004).”
• THE FERMI HAZE: A GAMMA-RAY COUNTERPART TO THE MICROWAVE HAZE (2009, unknown): “Examining known point source populations (of AGN and X-ray binaries) generally yields spectral indices α ∼ 1.5−2.2, although at high luminosities steeper power laws with α ∼ 2.5 have been observed in flat spectrum radio quasars, and at low luminosities very shallow power laws with α ∼ 1.2 have been ”
• Formation of Double Neutron Star Systems (2017, methodology): “The distribution of HMXBs in any galaxy is thus a good indicator of star formation activity, and their collective X-ray luminosity has been used to compute the starformation rate of their host galaxy (Grimm et al. 2003).”
• Charting the parameter space of the global 21-cm signal (2016, methodology): “Several different candidates have been proposed in the literature including X-ray binaries (XRBs) (Mirabel et al. 2011), mini-quasars (Madau et al. 2004), hot gas in the first galaxies, and hard X-rays produced via inverse Compton scattering of the CMB off electrons accelerated by supernovae (Oh 200”
• A COMPLETE SAMPLE OF ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCE HOST GALAXIES (2011, methodology): “Scaling Equation (6) of Grimm et al. (2003) to the same luminosity normalization and accounting for the narrower bandpass, 2–10 keV, over which they estimated luminosities result in an equivalent dN/dL = 0.6SFRL−1.6cts for L < Lc = 21.0 which indicates that our present census contains roughly twice…”
• STELLAR AND TOTAL BARYON MASS FRACTIONS IN GROUPS AND CLUSTERS SINCE REDSHIFT 1 (2009, background): “(2) Only X-ray extended sources with LX > 10 42 erg s−1 are considered, in order to limit contamination from starburst galaxies (Grimm et al. 2003) or field elliptical galaxies with Xray halos (Diehl & Statler 2007).”
• TOWARD A UNIFICATION OF STAR FORMATION RATE DETERMINATIONS IN THE MILKY WAY AND OTHER GALAXIES (2011, background): “The X-ray emission from galaxies has often been claimed to trace SFR (e.g., Grimm et al. 2003; Ranalli et al. 2003; Mineo et al. 2011), because of the high luminosities from high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), in addition to SNRs and ULXs.”
• A CORRELATION BETWEEN STAR FORMATION RATE AND AVERAGE BLACK HOLE ACCRETION IN STAR-FORMING GALAXIES (2013, background): “However, it is well known that high mass and low mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs and LMXBs) can also generate X-ray luminosity that is correlated with SFR (e.g. Grimm et al. 2003; Ranalli et al. 2003; Gilfanov et al. 2004; Lehmer et al. 2010).”
• XMM–Newton observations of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources (2006, background): “Independent support for this cut-off c mes from the empiricalLX− star formation rate relationship of Grimm et al. (2003), which can only have its linear form above∼ 10M⊙ yr−1 if the cut-off is real (see also Gilfanov et al. 2004). c© 2004 RAS, MNRAS000, 1–16 datasets available to us.”
