Scientific paper

We propose ACIS-S observations of two edge-on galaxies, NGC 2683 (Sb) and NGC 7090 (Sc). They are not starburst galaxies, but still show extensive radio halos. With a clean separation of diffuse X-ray emission from discrete sources, we will measure the content, morphology, thermal state, and cooling rate of the hot gas as well as its role in shaping the galactic vertical structures. The results will be compared with our existing work on the two later-type and more active starforming edge-on galaxies, NGC 4631 (Sd) and NGC 3556 (Scd), which also show radio halos. We will examine the the X-ray and radio connection of galactic halos and its dependence on galaxy type, star formation rate, and environment.
