With the aim of deriving the properties of the mechanisms powering emission line galaxies, the x-ray, optical, far infrared (FIR), and radio emission were analyzed in a sample of 103 galaxies, including 44 'normal' star forming galaxies, mostly spirals and irregulars, and 59 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) of different classes (quasi stellar objects, Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 galaxies). The objects were selected by having been detected both by Einstein and by IRAS (Infrared Astronomy Satellite) at 60 and/or 100 micrometers, discarding the targets for which only upper limits were available. Only those AGN with enough counts to perform spectral fits in the x-ray range were taken. The FIR luminosities were integrated over the 40 to 120 micrometers band by taking the IRAS fluxes at 60 to 100 micrometers. The x-ray luminosities correspond to the Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) bands (generally between 0.5 and 4.0 keV) and were corrected from interstellar absorption. Both FIR and x-ray luminosities were transformed to zero resdshift.
