      We present an analysis of X-ray data, taken with ROSAT, for a well defined sample of low-power radio galaxies from the Bologna B2 catalogue. Where possible, the HRI has been used in order to take advantage of the higher ...

    • X-Ray Observations of Superbubbles in Dwarf Galaxies 

      Brinks, E.; Walter, F.; Kerp, J. (Revista Mexicana de Astronom a y Astrof sica, 2000)
      There is plenty of evidence from neutral hydrogen observations for a violent interstellar medium, dominated by hot-plasma filled superbubbles. However, there are few direct observations of their thermal X-ray emission from ...
