The Large Deficit of HMXB Emission from Luminous Infrared Galaxies: the Case of the Circumnuclear Starburst Ring in NGC 7552
Lacey West, Kristen Garofali, Bret D. Lehmer +5
Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), the most extreme star-forming galaxies in the nearby (D30 Mpc) Universe, show a notable X-ray emission deficiency (up to a factor of 10…

On the X-ray Spectral Energy Distributions of Star-Forming Galaxies: the 0.3-30 keV Spectrum of the Low-Metallicity Starburst Galaxy VV 114
Kristen Garofali, Bret D. Lehmer, Antara Basu-Zych +6
Binary population synthesis combined with cosmological models suggest that X-ray emission from star-forming galaxies, consisting primarily of emission from X-ray binaries (XRBs) an…

On the Nature of the X-ray Emission from the Ultraluminous X-ray Source, M33 X-8: New Constraints from NuSTAR and XMM-Newton
Lacey A. West, Bret D. Lehmer, Daniel Wik +12
We present nearly simultaneous NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the nearby (832 kpc) ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M33 X-8. M33 X-8 has a 0.3-10 keV luminosity of LX ~ 1.4…
