ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations of IRAS galaxies; I. Soft X-ray and far-infrared properties
نویسنده
چکیده
The 120,000 X-ray sources detected in the RASS II processing of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey are correlated with the 14,315 IRAS galaxies selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue: 372 IRAS galaxies show X-ray emission within a distance of 100 arcsec from the infrared position. By inspecting the structure of the Xray emission in overlays on optical images we quantify the likelihood that the X-rays originate from the IRAS galaxy. For 197 objects the soft X-ray emission is very likely associated with the IRAS galaxy. Their soft X-ray properties are determined and compared with their far-infrared emission. X-ray contour plots overlaid on Palomar Digitized Sky Survey images are given for each of the 372 potential identifications. All images and tables displayed here are also available in electronic form.

SOFT X-RAY PROPERTIES OF ULIRGs BASED ON A LARGE AND COMPLETE SAMPLE
We report on the results of the cross-correlation of a sample of 903 Ultraluminous IRAS galaxies (ULIRGs) with the ROSAT-All Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue and the ROSAT archived pointing observations. The sample of ULIRGs has been compiled from the PSCz redshift survey. In total, 35 ULIRGs are securely detected by the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and pointing observations, five of which are blazar...
متن کاملSoft X-ray properties of a spectroscopically selected sample of interacting and isolated Seyfert galaxies
We present a catalogue of ROSAT detected sources in the sample of spectroscopically selected Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 galaxies of Rafanelli et al. (1995). The catalogue contains 102 Seyfert 1 and 36 Seyfert 2 galaxies. The identification is based on X-ray contour maps overlaid on optical images taken from the Digitized Sky Survey. We have derived the basic spectral and timing properties of the X...
متن کاملAn IRAS High Resolution Image Restoration (HIRES) Atlas of All Interacting Galaxies in the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample
The importance of far-infrared observations in our understanding of extreme activity in interacting and merging galaxies has been illustrated by many studies. Even though two decades have passed since its launch, the most complete all-sky survey to date from which far-infrared selected galaxy samples can be chosen is still that of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). However, the spatial...
متن کاملRosat Pspc Observations of the Infrared Quasar Iras 13349+2438: Evidence for a Warm Absorber with Internal Dust
We present spatial, temporal and spectral analyses of ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observations of the infrared loud quasar IRAS 13349+2438. IRAS 13349+2438 is the archetypal highly-polarized radio-quiet QSO and has an op-tical/infrared luminosity of 2 10 46 erg s 1. We detect variability in the ROSAT count rate by a factor of 4.1 in about one year, and there is also evi...
متن کاملSoft X–ray Properties of Seyfert Galaxies in the Rosat All–sky Survey
We present the results of ROSAT All–Sky Survey observations of Seyfert and IR–luminous galaxies from the Extended 12 μm Galaxy Sample and the optically–selected CfA Sample. Detections are available for 80% (44/55) of the Seyfert 1s and 34% (23/67) of the Seyfert 2s in the 12 μm sample, and for 76% (26/34) of the Seyfert 1s and 38% (6/16) of the Seyfert 2s in the CfA sample. Roughly half of the ...
