The X - ray jet in the merging galaxy system Markarian 266 ?

چکیده
We present deep ROSAT X-ray images of the double nucleus galaxy Mrk 266 in combination with optical images and spectra. The High Resolution Imager (HRI) X-ray morphology can be divided into four components: two nuclei of the merging galaxies, a diffuse galactic component and a strong northern jet coincident with very strong optical line emission. This jet component is decoupled from the rest of the merging system considering the internal kinematics. The luminous X-ray jet is excited by hot postshock gas with respect to the morphology, the high excitation emission lines and the kinematics.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE γ-RAY EMISSION ABOVE 250 GeV FROM THE BLAZARS MARKARIAN 501 AND MARKARIAN 421 BY THE CAT CHERENKOV ATMOSPHERIC IMAGING TELESCOPE
The Very High Energy (VHE) γ-ray emission of the closest BL Lacertæ objects Markarian 501 and Markarian 421 has been observed by the CAT telescope in 1997 and 1998. In 1997 Mrk 501 exhibited a remarkable series of flares, with a VHE emission peaking above 250 GeV. The source showed correlated emissions in the X-ray and VHE γ-ray bands, together with intensityspectral hardness correlation in the...

متن کاملAsca Observation of an X-ray–luminous Active Nucleus in Markarian
We have obtained a moderately long (10 s) ASCA observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 231, the most luminous of the local ultraluminous infrared galaxy population. In the best-fitting model we do not see the X-ray source directly; the spectrum consists of a scattered power-law component and a reflection component, both of which have been absorbed by a column . About three-quarters of the...
متن کاملJet-gas Interactions in the Seyfert Galaxy Markarian 78
The Seyfert 2 galaxy Markarian 78 offers a rare opportunity to study the interaction of kpc scale radio outflows with the surrounding emission line gas. Using VLA and HST imaging and spectroscopy we identify a number of signatures of the interaction, including jet disruption and deflection. Folding in kinematic features, we identify three regions which may be exhibiting early, intermediate, and...
متن کاملASCA Observation of an X - Ray - Luminous Active Nucleus in Markarian 231
We have obtained a moderately long (10 second) ASCA observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 231, the most luminous of the local ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) population. In the best-fitting model we do not see the X-ray source directly; the spectrum consists of a scattered power-law component and a reflection component, both of which have been absorbed by a column NH ≈ 3× 10 22 cm...
