Starburst galaxies and the X-ray background
Integrated X-ray spectra of an evolving population of starburst galaxies (SBGs) are determined based on the observed spectra of local SBGs. In addition to emission from hot gas and binary systems, our model SBG spectrum includes a nonthermal component from Compton scattering of relativistic electrons by the intense ambient far-IR and the (steeply evolving) CMB radiation fields. We use these int...
متن کامل" Hidden " Seyfert 2 Galaxies and the X-ray Background
Obscured active galactic nuclei, which are classified optically as type 2 (narrow-line) Seyfert galaxies in the local universe, are by far the most promising candidates for the origin of the hard (2–10 keV) X-ray background radiation. However, optical follow-up observations of faint X-ray sources in deep Chandra images have revealed surprising numbers of apparently normal galaxies at modest red...
متن کاملThe X-ray Background from Groups and Clusters of Galaxies
We present an estimate of the X-ray background (XRB) spectrum from the warm-hot intergalactic medium (IGM) associated with groups and clusters of galaxies, using purely the observationally determined X-ray luminosity function (XLF) and X-ray luminosity (Lx) temperature (T ) relations for groups and clusters. As compared with previous semi-analytic models based on the Press-Schechter mass functi...
متن کاملThe X - ray properties of luminous infrared galaxies and their contribution to the X - ray background
We present a study of the sample of luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs, LIR > 10 11 L⊙) observed in the hard (2-10 keV) X rays. The main results are: 1) most LIGs are powered both by AGN and starburst activity; 2) the AGNs in our sample are absorbed in the infrared by a lower NH than in the X-rays or, alternatively, the dust-togas ratio is lower than galactic; 3) the study of a subsample of sourc...
متن کاملHard X-Ray Emission from Elliptical Galaxies and Its Contribution to the X-Ray Background.
We explore the implications of the discovery of hard, power-law X-ray sources in the spectra of nearby elliptical galaxies for the origin of the X-ray background (XRB). The spectra of these sources are consistent with models of thermal bremsstrahlung emission from low radiative efficiency accretion flows around central supermassive black holes and are unique in that they approximately match the...
