Journal ArticleDOI
A High Spatial Resolution X-Ray and Hα Study of Hot Gas in the Halos of Star-forming Disk Galaxies. I. Spatial and Spectral Properties of the Diffuse X-Ray Emission
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented arcsecond resolution Chandra X-ray and ground-based optical Hα imaging of a sample of 10 edge-on star-forming disk galaxies (seven starburst and three "normal" spiral galaxies), a sample that covers the full range of star formation intensity found in disk galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High Spatial Resolution X-Ray and Hα Study of Hot Gas in the Halos of Star-forming Disk Galaxies. II. Quantifying Supernova Feedback
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate how the empirical properties of hot X-ray-emitting gas in a sample of seven starburst and three normal edge-on spiral galaxies correlate with the size, mass, star formation rate, and star formation intensity in the host galaxies.

TL;DR: In this paper, an X-ray spectral survey of nearby Seyfert galaxies using XMM-Newton is reported, which is one of the largest atlases of hard Xray spectra of low-luminosity active galaxies ever assembled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Old and Young X-Ray Point Source Populations in Nearby Galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed Chandra ACIS observations of 32 nearby spiral and elliptical galaxies and presented the results of 1441 X-ray point sources that were detected in these galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chandra observations of NGC 253. II: On the origin of diffuse X-ray emission in the halos of starburst galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed case study of the diffuse X-ray and Hemission in the halo of NGC 253, a nearby edge-on starburst galaxy driving a galactic superwind, is presented.
