New bright soft X - ray selected ROSAT AGN
We present the emission line properties of a sample of 76 bright soft X-ray selected ROSAT Active Galactic Nuclei. All optical counterparts are Seyfert 1 galaxies with rather narrow permitted lines, strong optical FeII line blends, and weak forbidden lines. By selection, they also have steep soft X-ray spectra when compared with typical Seyfert 1 galaxies. We discuss possible origins of these p...
متن کاملNew Bright Soft X-ray Selected Rosat Agn: I. Infrared–to–x-ray Spectral Energy Distributions
We present results of an infrared-to-X-ray study of 76 bright soft X-ray selected Seyfert galaxies discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. These objects are characterized by steep X-ray spectra in the 0.2-2.0 keV bandpass with power law energy spectral indices in the range of 1.3 to 8 and a lack of internal absorption by neutral hydrogen. Our sample selection based on hardness ratio yields a me...
متن کاملThe soft X-ray emission components of NGC 4258 decomposed by deep ROSAT observations
Spatial, spectral, and timing analysis of deep ROSAT HRI and PSPC observations of the active spiral galaxy NGC 4258 are reported. The diffuse emission of NGC 4258 has a 0.1–2.4 keV luminosity of Lx ∼ 2 × 1040 erg s−1 (corrected for Galactic foreground absorption) and fills ∼ 40% of the D25 diameter. One half of the HRI count rate of this region is caused by a ridge of high surface brightness em...
متن کاملX-Ray Emission from Early-Type Galaxies: A Complete Sample Observed by ROSAT
To test the cooling flow model of early-type galaxies, we obtained a complete magnitude-limited sample of 34 early-type galaxies, observed with the PSPC and HRI on ROSAT. The X-ray to optical distribution of galaxies implies a lower envelope that is consistent with the stellar emission inferred from Cen A. When this stellar component is removed, the gaseous emission is related to the optical lu...
متن کاملThe ROSAT X-ray Background Dipole
We estimate the dipole of the diffuse 1.5 keV X-ray background from the ROSAT all-sky survey map of Snowden et al (1995). We first subtract the diffuse Galactic emission by fitting to the data an exponential scale height, finite radius, disk model. We further exclude regions of low galactic latitudes, of local X-ray emission (eg the North Polar Spur) and model them using two different methods. ...
