The X-ray emission of the Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies Haro 2 and ESO338-04
Abstract
We propose to obtain X ray images and spectra with Chandra ACIS-S of the Lyman alpha emitting starburst galaxies ESO 338-04 and Haro 2, aiming to analyze the proposed correlation between X ray luminosity and Lyalpha emission intensity in compact starbursts. This work will be performed within our current project to characterize in detail the properties of Lyman alpha emitting starburst galaxies in the Local Universe, as a first step to properly understand the Lyman alpha emission observed from high-redshift galaxies.
