Chandra detection of reflected X - ray emission from the type 2 QSO in IRAS 09104 + 4109

چکیده
We present X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the extremely luminous infrared galaxy IRAS 09104+4109 (z = 0.442) obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. With the arcsec resolution of Chandra, an unresolved source at the nucleus is separated from the surrounding cluster emission. A strong iron K line at 6.4 keV on a very hard continuum is detected from the nuclear source, rendering IRAS 09104+4109 the most distant reflection-dominated X-ray source known. Combined with the BeppoSAX detection of the excess hard X-ray emission, it provides further strong support to the presence of a hidden X-ray source of quasar luminosity in this infrared galaxy. Also seen is a faint linear structure to the North, which coincides with the main radio jet. An X-ray deficit in the corresponding region suggests an interaction between the cluster medium and the jet driven by the active nucleus.

X - rays from the Type II quasar in the hyperluminous infrared galaxy IRAS F 15307 + 3252
We report the detection of X-ray emission from the hyperluminous infrared galaxy IRAS F15307+3252 at z = 0.93 and its properties obtained from XMM-Newton observations. Although the X-ray emission is very faint and the data are noisy, a prominent line-like feature in the observed 3–4 keV range is inferred from both photometric and spectroscopic techniques. It indicates an X-ray spectrum dominate...

We report the detection of X-ray emission from the host cluster of the unusual radio-quiet quasar H 1821+643 using the ROSAT HRI, and the non-detection of X-ray emission from the host cluster of the radio-loud quasar 3C 206 (3σ upper limit of 1.63 1044 ergs s−1) using the EINSTEIN HRI. The host cluster of H 1821+643 is one of the most X-ray luminous clusters known, with a rest-frame 0.1-2.4 keV...
متن کاملRosat Hri Observations of Iras P09104+4109: a Massive Cooling Ow
A ROSAT HRI image of the hyperluminous infrared galaxy IRAS P09104+4109 shows extended X-ray emission peaked around the central galaxy in a proole characteristic of a cooling ow. The inferred soft X-ray luminosity is comparable to that detected with ASCA. The ASCA spectrum is well t by a cooling ow spectrum, indicating a mass cooling rate of about 1000 M yr 1. The cooling ow dominates the total...

The narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1) IRAS 13224–3809 has been observed with the CHANDRA High Resolution Camera (HRC-I) for 12 ksec on February, 2, 2000. The source was proposed for CHAN-DRA observations to precisely determine the X-ray centroid position and to investigate the timing properties of the most X-ray variable Seyfert galaxy. The position derived from CHANDRA confirms that the X-ra...
