X-RAY EMISSION FROM THE SOMBRERO GALAXY: A GALACTIC-SCALE OUTFLOW

X-RAY EMISSION FROM THE SOMBRERO GALAXY: A GALACTIC-SCALE OUTFLOW

Based on new and archival Chandra observations of the Sombrero galaxy (M 104), we study the diffuse X-ray emission in and around its massive stellar bulge. The 2-6 keV unresolved emission from the bulge region closely follows the K-band star light and most likely arises from unresolved stellar sources. At …
