Chandra X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the starburst galaxy Henize 2-10 reveals a strong nuclear point source and at least two fainter compact sources embedded within a more luminous diffuse thermal component. Spectral fits to the nuclear X-ray source imply an unabsorbed X-ray luminosity L_x >10^40 erg/s for reasonable power law or blackbody models, consistent with accretion onto a >50 solar mass black hole behind a foreground absorbing column of N_H>10^23 /cm^2. Two of these point sources have L_x=2-5 x 10^38 erg/s, comparable to luminous X-ray binaries. These compact sources constitute a small fraction (<16%) of the total X-ray flux from He~2-10 in the 0.3--6.0 keV band and just 31% of the X-rays in the hard 1.1--6.0 keV band which is dominated by diffuse emission. Two-temperature solar-composition plasmas (kT~0.2 keV and kT~0.7 keV) fit the diffuse X-ray component as well as single-temperature plasmas with enhanced alpha/Fe ratios. Since the observed radial gradient of the X-ray surface brightness closely follows that of the Halpha emission, the composition of the X-ray plasma likely reflects mixing of the ambient cool/warm ISM with an even hotter, low emission measure plasma, thereby explaining the ~solar ISM composition. Aperture synthesis 21-cm maps show an extended neutral medium to radii of 60" so that the warm and hot phases of the ISM, which extend to ~30", are enveloped within the 8x10^20 /cm^2 contour of the cool neutral medium. This extended neutral halo may serve to inhibit a starburst-driven outflow unless it is predominantly along the line of sight. The high areal density of star formation can also be reconciled with the lack of prominent outflow signatures if Henize 2-10 is in the very early stages of developing a galactic wind.
A Chandra observation of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 19254--7245 (the Superantennae): X-ray emission from the Compton-thick AGN and the diffuse starburst
我们提出了一个IRAS 19254- 7245的{ \it Chandra}观测，它是一个邻近的ULIRG，也被称为{ \it the Superantennas}。高空间分辨率的{ \it钱德拉}使我们能够解开第一次从嵌入康普顿厚的活动星系核的弥漫星暴辐射。活动星系核的2-10 keV辐射谱符合平坦的幂律（$Γ=1.3$）和类He的Fe K $α$谱线，EW $\sim$ 1.5 keV，与以前的观测结果一致。Fe K $α$谱线轮廓可以被解析为中性6.4 keV谱线和电离6.7 keV（类He）或6.9 keV（类H）谱线的混合。与以前的{ \it XMM-Newton}和{ \it suzaku}观测相比，检测到了变化，证明了铁谱线发射的紧凑尺寸。我们拟合的光谱的星系尺度扩展发射不包括活动星系核和其他亮点源的软热分量与kT~0.8 keV。扩展辐射的亮度比活动星系核的亮度低一个数量级。扩展辐射的基本物理和结构性质与星暴驱动的星系风完全一致（不需要AGN的反馈）。在南核以南8 \arcsec处检测到候选超亮X射线源。如果发射是各向同性的，并且与超天线有关，那么这个离核点源的0.3-10 keV光度为~ $6\times 10^{40}$ erg s $^{-1}$。
