X-rays from normal galaxies.
Abstract
This review gives an up to date and hopefully complete account of the Einstein results and of the published results from the European EXOSAT and Japanese Ginga satellites. Spiral and elliptical galaxies are reviewed separately, since their X-ray properties differ and suggest different origins for their X-ray emission.
