M. Cappi et al., Highlights of BeppoSAX results on the starburst galaxies NGC 253 and M82, and on the LINER active galaxy M81, ASTRON NACH, 320(4-5), 1999, pp. 248-250
We present highlights of BeppoSAX results on three galaxies, archetypical i
n their respective classes: the two starburst galaxies NGC 253 and M82, and
the LINER galaxy M81. The main observational results obtained are summariz
ed, a most favored interpretation is proposed, and finally the main implica
tions are briefly discussed.
