The nature of the nuclear region of Mkn 298 is investigated on the basis of optical and soft X-ray observations. The X-ray data permit to confirm the presence of an AGN, partially hidden by circumnuclear starburst regions, instead of supernova explosions, as suspected by the optical spectra.

Abstract
The nature of the nuclear region of Mkn 298 is investigated on the basis of optical and soft X-ray observations. The X-ray data permit to confirm the presence of an AGN, partially hidden by circumnuclear starburst regions, instead of supernova explosions, as suspected by the optical spectra.File in questo prodotto:
