Scientific paper

We present XMM-Newton observations of three high X-ray luminosity ``normal'' galaxies: MS1204.1+2826, MS1143.6+2040 and MS1309.1+3208. These objects are part of a flux limited sample of 8 high X-ray luminosity galaxies from the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey. The observations were performed with the aim of confirming that high X-ray luminosity normal galaxies discovered in deep XMM-Newton and Chandra survey, and often classified as new classes of exotic objects, were already present in earlier and much brighter samples. These ``unusual'' populations appearing at low X-ray fluxes represent the low-flux counterparts of the nearby and X-ray bright ``galaxies'' that have been known for decades.
