Cosmic Star Formation History and Deep X-ray Imaging in the XMM-NEWTON and CHANDRA Era
Abstract
Description
I summarize X-ray diagnostic studies of cosmic star formation in terms of evolutionary schemes for X-ray binary evolution in normal galaxies with evolving star formation. Deep X-ray imaging studies by CHANDRA and XMM-NEWTON are beginning to constrain both the X-ray luminosity evolution of galaxies and the log N - log S diagnostics of the X-ray background: I discuss these in the above context, summarizing current understanding and future prospects.
