Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | XXIX General Assembly | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASTRONOMICAL UNION | Number: | vol. 11, A29B (Astronomy in Focus) | First Page: | 124 | Abstract: | X-ray surveys of normal galaxies, i.e. those that do not host actively supermassive black holes, have revealed important information on the nature of accreting stellar-mass compact objects (neutron stars and black holes), constraints on populations of possible intermediate-mass black holes (10<SUP>2-5</SUP> M <SUB>☉</SUB>), and on the reservoir of materials in the hot interstellar medium of the most massive galaxies. Here we summarize briefly the results of Chandra and NuSTAR surveys of several samples of galaxies covered during the 2015 IAU General Assembly. This includes a comprehensive study of six nearby starburst galaxies by the NuSTAR mission, of high-redshift galaxies from the 6 Ms Chandra Deep Field South for which evolutionary trends in X-ray emission over cosmic time have been measured, of collisional ring galaxies which are excellent local environments for studying intermediate-mass black holes and of elliptical galaxies which are ideal for study of the hot gas reservoirs containing the effects of stellar and AGN feedback. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/25957 | URL: | https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-international-astronomical-union/article/what-dominates-the-xray-emission-of-normal-galaxies/AB55C80F8AED4AF0F57C08DC1A806311 | ISSN: | 1743-9213 | DOI: | 10.1017/S1743921316004609 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016IAUFM..29B.124H | Fulltext: | open |
