Scientific paper

X-rays are most often detected from AGN in surveys, however with current and planned sensitive X-ray telescopes normal/starburst galaxies are detected also. We will discuss our Bayesian approaches to both source classification and the starburst galaxy luminosity function based on the Chandra Deep Fields, where strong evidence is found for the evolution of late-type galaxy and (to a lesser extent) early-type galaxy X-ray emission. We will also discuss the prospects for characterizing the X-ray properties of galaxies in serendipitous source surveys based on the Chandra and XMM-Newton archives, and in proposed future X-ray survey missions. This work is supported by NASA grants NNG04GE13G and SP8-9004X.
