摘要
Several IRAS galaxies have been detected at X-rays, with a variety of satellite observatories. About half of these are classified optically as Seyfert galaxies. Among those not (convincingly) classified as AGN, many have X-ray luminosities for which stellar evolution products offer convenient explanations. Some non-active IRAS galaxies display anomalously high levels of X-ray emission for which several conceivable origins are investigated: optical misclassification, X-ray misidentification, hidden AGN, incidental activity, starburst, environmental sources. X-ray spectral studies and temporal variations constitute important tools for further investigation, for instance to assess the strength of a starburst or to establish signatures of an active core.
