Ngc 4945, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02048701

Scientific paper

Recent Chandra and XMM observations of the composite AGN/starburst galaxy NGC 4945 detect a number of X-ray emission regions outside of the immediate environment of the AGN. In particular, extensive diffuse X-ray emission is associated with the large-scale disk of the galaxy, a prominent superwind extends to the NW of the nucleus, and a number of ultraluminous X-ray sources are evident. We propose a deeper (60 ks) second-epoch XMM observation of NGC 4945, focusing primarily on the non-nuclear X-ray emission. The objectives of the observation are (i) a spectral study of the extensive diffuse X-ray emission (ii) a spectro-imaging study of the X-ray superwind (iii) variability studies of both the AGN/starburst emission and the population of prominent X-ray point sources.
