A new X-ray emitting Seyfert 1 galaxy.
Abstract
Long et al. (1981) detected 97 soft X-ray sources by means of the imaging X-ray telescopes aboard the Einstein Observatory during a study of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Further spectroscopic observations have revealed a typical Seyfert 1 galaxy. The presence of a correlation in this galaxy between a Seyfert nucleus and an external ring could have important implications for attempts to explain the origin of the Seyferts in terms of dynamical perturbations, collisions, or explosions.
