Hot diffuse emission in the nuclear starburst region of NGC 2903
We present a deep Chandra observation of the central regions of the late-type barred spiral galaxy NGC 2903. The Chandra data reveal soft (kTe ~ 0.2-0.5 keV) diffuse emission in the nuclear starburst region and extending ~2' (~5 kpc) to the north and west of the nucleus. Much of this soft hot...
