The median IR luminosity of our sample is log LIR/L = 11.2, therefore the low-luminosity end of the LIRG class is well represented. We used new XMM-Newton data as well as Chandra and XMM-Newton archive data. The soft X-ray (0.5–2 keV) emission of most of the galaxies (>80%), including LIRGs hosting a Seyfert 2 nucleus, is dominated by star-formation-related processes. These LIRGs follow the star-formation rate (SFR) versus soft X-ray luminosity correlation observed in local starbursts. -

Deconstructing NGC 7130 N. A. Levenson1, K. A. Weaver2,3, T. M. Heckman3, H. Awaki4, and Y. Terashima5 ABSTRACT Observations of the Seyfert 2 and starburst galaxy NGC 7130 with the Chan- dra X-ray Observatory illustrate that both of these phenomena contribute sig- nificantly to the galaxy’s detectable X-ray emission. The active galactic nucleus 24 −2 (AGN) is strongly obscured, buried beneath column density NH > 10 cm , and it is most evident in a prominent Fe Kα emission line with equivalent width greater than 1 keV. The AGN accounts for most (60%) of the observed X-rays at energy E > 2 keV, with the remainder due to spatially extended star for- mation. The soft X-ray emission is strong and predominantly thermal, on both small and large scales. We attribute the thermal emission to stellar processes. In total, the AGN is responsible for only one-third of the observed 0.5–10 keV luminosity of 3 × 1041 erg s−1 of this galaxy, and less than half of its bolometric luminosity. Starburst/AGN composite galaxies like NGC 7130 are truly common, and similar examples may contribute significantly to the high-energy cosmic X- ray background while remaining hidden at lower energies, especially if they are distant.

Introduction arXiv:astro-ph/0411644v1 23 Nov 2004 Accretion onto supermassive black holes powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs), but star formation also may be fundamentally related to the central black holes and their activity. 1Department of Physics -

The sample comprises 78 ob- jects, divided into 43 Seyfert 2s, 26 Seyfert 1s, 3 Starburst and 6 normal galaxies. The spectra pertain to the inner ∼ 300 pc in radius, and thus sample the central kine- matics and stellar populations of active galaxies. The data are used to measure stellar velocity dispersions (σ⋆) both with cross-correlation and direct fitting methods. These measurements are found to be in good agreement with each-other and with those in previous studies for objects in common. The CaT equivalent width is also measured. -
