Scientific paper

Most previous X-ray studies of LINER galaxies have neglected IR-bright LINERs. The goal of this proposal is to conduct an X-ray "snapshot" survey using the Chandra ACIS images of a select sample of nearby IR-bright galaxies. This sample complements and extends previous X-ray surveys of optically-selected LINERs. We will: 1) unveil compact hard X-ray nuclear sources and find their luminosities, 2) compare and contrast the detection rate and luminosities of nuclear X-ray sources in this study and previous optically-selected studies, and 3) determine if IR spectroscopic detections of high excitation lines from ISO correlate with nuclear X-ray point source detections. This program will have a crucial impact on future SIRTF surveys.
