Scientific paper

We propose to examine the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and starburst galaxies through the observation of a sample of Seyfert 2 galaxies that are known to contain circumnuclear starbursts, based on their optical and ultraviolet properties. Previous data obtained with ROSAT and ASCA suggest that a resolved soft X-ray component is thermal emission due to the starburst in these galaxies. With spatially-resolved spectroscopy, we will definitively identify the origin of this emission. Removing the confusion of the starburst, we will also more accurately model the AGN spectra, measuring the intrinsic absorption, scattered fraction, and contribution of emission lines.
