Scientific paper

The X-ray and optical properties of a selection of compact nucleus, emission line Markarian galaxies have been studied. Observations with the Einstein Observatory have detected X-rays from all the Seyfert galaxies and none of the narrow emission line galaxies in the sample. This result supports the idea that powerful X-ray emission is correlated with the presence of a broad optical emission line component. The emission line spectra of the Seyfert galaxies show much higher excitation than do the narrow-line galaxies, whose spectra are similar to those of H II regions. Both the optical properties and the radio and X-ray upper limits of the non-Seyfert galaxies are consistent with the suggestion that those objects have undergone bursts of massive star formation.
