Scientific paper

X-ray observation of M83 with the Einstein Observatory indicates an extent and shape for this emission that are comparable to those in the blue band, although the inner 2-arcmin region shows a relative X-ray excess that may be accounted for by a clustering of bulge-type X-ray sources in the inner region of the plane of the galaxy. A lack of correlation in high resolution X-ray observations is noted between X-ray emission and the spiral arm pattern, suggesting that most of the X-ray emission from the plane of M83 is due to unresolved sources, belonging to the 'smooth' disk population, whose ages are in the 100 million-1 billion year range. Attention is given to six bright sources in the plane and nuclear region of M83, whose high X-ray luminosities suggest that they are close accreting binaries.
