Notes. Chandra and XMM-Newton results are given whenever possible. For sources not observed by these satellites most recent (but usually older) results are quoted.

(a)

Type of nuclear activity. In the absence of a starburst and a prominent nuclear source, the X-ray source (e.g. X-1 or X-8) is given. BCD: Blue Compact Dwarf; SBG: StarBurst Galaxy; S2: Seyfert 2; LINER: Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission Line Region; ULIRG: UltraLuminous InfraRed Galaxy; FRII: Fanarov-Riley type II galaxy; C: Compton-thick, i.e. NH ≳ 1024   cm-2; C?: possibly varying between Compton-thick and Compton-thin.

(b)

A: ASCA; B: BeppoSax; C: Chandra; R: ROSAT; RX: RXTE; X: XMM-Newton.

(c)

Year, month and day.

(d)

For NGC 3034 (M 82), lacking a well defined nucleus, the Chandra data refer to the diffuse halo component.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
