Extended Soft X-Ray Emission from NGC4151
Abstract
The authors report on observations of NGC 4151 with the Einstein HRI instrument. An extended emission region of soft X-rays was detected with its maximum located ≡5 arcsec from the nucleus of the galaxy. The emission region seems to be associated with the forbidden line emitting gas. Possible mechanisms for producing the X-ray emission are outlined.
