Viizw403, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02073801

Scientific paper

VIIZw403 is one of the nearest blue compact dwarf galaxies with extremely low metallicity of 1/22-1/15 solar. We found a point-like source about 0.3 f apart from the center of the galaxy in the Chandra archived data. Emission line of Oxygen is clearly visible in the X-ray spectrum of the source, indicating the thermal emission from hot optically thin plasma. The X-ray luminosity of Lx~1038 erg/s, much higher than typical galactic SNRs, pauses a question on its nature. We will obtain high quality X-ray spectrum with the XMM-Newton. Metal abundance determined in the observation will illustrate the origin of hot gas in galaxies, in its simplified case.
