Scientific paper
We propose to use ACIS to observe the star-forming galaxy Arp299 which has an X-ray luminosity Lx ~10E42 erg s-1 (0.1-10.0keV). It is therefore one of the most X-ray luminous star-forming galaxies in the local universe. Although it is bona-fide star-forming galaxy, according to very detailed optical, infrared and mid-infrared spectroscopy, it rivals the X-ray luminosity of Seyfert galaxies in both the soft and the hard X-ray band. Our primary aim is to identify the mechanism responsible for the production of its hard X-ray emission, the nature of which will have general relevance to all star-forming galaxies, and requires the excellent spatial resolution of Chandra.Also we will study the populations of the extranuclear sources and compare with results from other systems.
