| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We constructed the luminosity function of the Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) in the Galactic bulge, which is a fundamental observable to elucidate the formation history of the Galaxy, using a flux-limited sample extracted from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. In order to improve the completeness of the luminosity function, Spectroscopic studies above 2 keV were performed for unidentified X-ray sources towards the Galactic bulge; 13 follow-up X-ray observations were carried out with Suzaku and Chandra. We have almost completed the observations of these unidentified bulge sources, and then obtained good-quality hard (> 2keV) X-ray spectra. So far we newly identified 1 LMXB, 2 clusters of galaxies, and 3 X-ray active stars. These result suggests that the number of the LMXBs in the Galactic bulge is smaller than those in the bulges of other disk galaxies and elliptical galaxies.
