A limit on nuclear activity in Leo A.

MEURS E.J.A.

Abstract (from CDS):

ROSAT HRI observations of Leo A are analysed in order to complement a recent X-ray survey of the centres of Local Group galaxies (Zang & Meurs, 2001ApJ...556...24Z). It is likely that high-energy cores in galaxies are indicative of some level of nuclear activity. The upper limit 0.1-2.4 keV luminosity determined for Leo A (logLX<35.77) is consistent with the results that were obtained for other small Local Group systems. Leo A represents the lowest optical luminosity Irregular galaxy in the Local Group that has been studied at X-rays. Also the ROSAT All Sky Survey data allow to derive a (less constraining) upper limit flux for this galaxy.
