We observed the X-ray bright E3 galaxy NGC 1600 and nearby members of the NGC 1600 group with the Chandra X-ray Observatory ACIS S3 to study their X-ray properties. Unresolved emission dominates the observation; however, we resolved some of the emission into 71 sources, most of which are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) associated with NGC 1600. Twenty-one of the sources have LX > 2 × 10 ergs s ...
