Evidence of AGN Activity in the Gamma-Ray Emission from Two Starburst Galaxies

Evidence of AGN Activity in the Gamma-Ray Emission from Two Starburst Galaxies

Starburst galaxies are huge reservoirs of cosmic rays (CRs) and these CRs convert a significant fraction of their energy into gamma-rays by colliding with the interstellar medium (ISM). The produced GeV gamma-ray emission is temporally stable and the flux is found to correlate well with indicators of star formation rates, …
