Scientific paper

Studies of star formation in the distant (z gt 1) Universe are largely confined to the rest-frame ultraviolet. The best-studied UV-selected galaxies are the Lyman Break galaxies (LBGs), whose X-ray properties have been determined via statistical/stacking analyses of large samples of galaxies in long effective Chandra exposures (gt 30 Ms). There is a new opportunity to study LBGs: the recently-launched GALEX survey mission has selected a low-redshift LBG population: the UV Luminous Galaxies (UVLGs). Although these galaxies are typically at z lt 0.3 they are sufficiently distant that their X-ray fluxes are fairly low. With 242 ks of XMM time, we will determine the individual X-ray properties of eight LBGs and put the X-ray/SFR correlation on firmer footing.
