An X-Ray Detection Possibility of Star-Formation-Bursting Proto-Elliptical Galaxies

Abstract

A possibility to detect X-rays from star-formation burst activities in proto-elliptical galaxies is considered. The X-ray flux of an emission due to inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by high energy electrons accelerated in SNRs is shown to increase as z increases far beyond unity, since the local CMB flux largely increases in association with a z-increase. The flux is estimated for the case of a very high rate of type II supernovae at an initial star formation burst of a proto-elliptical galaxy and is found to be detectable with a future large X-ray telescope such as intended in the XEUS mission.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, will appear in PAS
