X-ray image of the central region of the galaxy NGC 4151
X-ray image of the central region of the galaxy NGC 4151 obtained with the satellite Chandra. This image shows that the X-ray emission from a massive cloud of nuclear gas that is heated by the central black hole is extended in approximately the same direction as the m id-infrared emission detected by OSCIR.
