0.5–8 keV band exposure corrected Chandra (left panel) and XMM-Newton (right panel) images of a 4′ × 4′ region around DF 44. No diffuse X-ray emission, originating from hot gaseous emission and/or the population of unresolved X-ray binaries, is detected. In addition, no resolved X-ray sources are detected either from GC-LMXBs or from a nuclear source. The lack of statistically significant X-ray emission implies that the dark matter halo of DF 44 is not comparable with L_⋆ galaxies.
