The composite starburst/AGN nature of the superwind galaxy NGC 4666
M. Persic, M. Cappi, Y. Rephaeli +6
We report the discovery of a Compton-thick AGN and of intense star-formation activity in the nucleus and disk, respectively, of the nearly edge-on superwind galaxy NGC 4666. Spatia…
2-100 keV Spectrum of an Actively Star Forming Galaxy
Massimo Persic, Yoel Rephaeli
We compute the synthetic 2-100 keV spectrum of an actively star forming galaxy. To this aim we use a luminosity function of point sources appropriate for starbursts (based on Chand…
2-10 keV luminosity of high-mass binaries as a gauge of ongoing star-formation rate
M. Persic, Y. Rephaeli, V. Braito +4
Based on recent work on spectral decomposition of the emission of star-forming galaxies, we assess whether the integrated 2-10 keV emission from high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), L…
The XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX view of the Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxy MKN 231
V. Braito, R. Della Ceca, E. Piconcelli +11
We discuss XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX observations of MKN 231, the lowest-redshift Broad Absorption Line (BAL) QSO known so far and one of the best-studied Ultra Luminous Infrared Gal…
