TL;DR
This study investigates the X-ray and infrared characteristics of local luminous infrared galaxies to understand extreme star formation and AGN activity using XMM-Newton and Spitzer data.
Contribution
It provides preliminary X-ray analysis and spectral modeling of local LIRGs, offering insights into their energetic processes.
Findings
Initial X-ray images reveal diverse emission features.
Spectral modeling suggests presence of active galactic nuclei.
Results contribute to understanding galaxy evolution processes.
Abstract
We are carrying out detailed study of the X-ray and infrared (IR) properties of a sample of local (d < 70 Mpc) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) using XMM-Newton and Spitzer (imaging and spectroscopy). The main goal is to study the extreme processes of star formation and/or active galactic nuclei (AGN) taking place in this cosmologically important class of galaxies. In this proceedings we present the preliminary results obtained from the analysis of the XMM-Newton X-ray images and the X-ray spectral modeling.
