For this very reason, a correlation might also exist between X-ray and FIR/radio global luminosities of galaxies. We analyze data from {it ROSAT} All-Sky Survey and {it IRAS} to show that such correlation does indeed exist between FIR (42.5$-122.5mu$m) and soft X-ray (0.1$-$2.4keV) luminosities in active star-forming galaxies (ASFGs).In order to establish a physical connection between the $L_{
mX}-L_{
m FIR}$ correlation and global star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies, we empirically derive both $L_{
m X}-L_{
m B}$ and $L_{
m FIR}-L_{
m B}$ relations. Futhermore, we propose a relation between soft X-ray luminosity and SFR in star-forming galaxies. To further understand the $L_{
m X}-L_{
m FIR}$ relation, we construct an empirical model in which both FIR and X-ray emissions consist of two components with one being closely associated with star formation and the other not. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0412172 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
