Cartwheel, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02008001

Scientific paper

The Cartwheel, archetypical ring galaxy with strong star formation activity concentrated in a peculiar annular structure, is the ideal target to study the starburst phenomenon in a clean environment, not contaminated by other galactic components. With the ROSAT/HRI and CHANDRA we see emission from the ring, associated with the most active HII regions, extending to this spectacular galaxy the strong connection between star formation activity and emission at high energies. With XMM we want to study the spectra of the brightest isolated knots. We expect a combination of hard binary sources and soft gaseous emission through the star-forming clumps. We will also confirm the presence and establish the characteristics of the diffuse emission inside the ring.
