Hyper-luminous infrared galaxies (HyLIRGs) lie at the extreme luminosity end of the IR galaxy population with $L_{rm IR}>10^{13}$L$_odot$. They are thought to be closer counterparts of the more distant sub-mm galaxies, and should therefore be optimal targets to study the most massive systems in formation. We present deep $Chandra$ observations of IRAS~F15307+3252 (100ks), a classical HyLIRG located at $z=$0.93 and hosting a radio-loud AGN ($L_{rm 1.4 GHz}sim3.5times10^{25}$ W/Hz). The $Chandra$ images reveal the presence of extended ($r=160$ kpc), asymmetric X-ray emission in the soft 0.3-2.0 keV band that has no radio counterpart. We therefore argue that the emission is of thermal origin originating from a hot intragroup or intracluster medium virializing in the potential. We find that the temperature ($sim2$ keV) and bolometric X-ray luminosity ($sim3times10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$) of the gas follow the expected $L_{rm X-ray}-T$ correlation for groups and clusters, and that the gas has a remarkably short cooling time of $1.2$ Gyrs. In addition, VLA radio observations reveal that the galaxy hosts an unresolved compact steep-spectrum (CSS) source, most likely indicating the presence of a young radio source similar to 3C186. We also confirm that the nucleus is dominated by a redshifted 6.4 keV Fe K$alpha$ line, strongly suggesting that the AGN is Compton-thick. Finally, Hubble images reveal an over-density of galaxies and sub-structure in the galaxy that correlates with soft X-ray emission. This could be a snapshot view of on-going groupings expected in a growing cluster environment. IRAS~F15307+3252 might therefore be a rare example of a group in the process of transforming into a cluster.

We perform a survey of the X-ray properties of 41 objects from the WISE/SDSS selected Hyper-luminous (WISSH) quasars sample, composed by 86 broad-line quasars (QSOs) with bolometric luminosity $L_{Bol}geq 2times 10^{47},erg, s^{-1}$, at z~2-4. All bu
t 3 QSOs show unabsorbed 2-10 keV luminosities $L_{2-10}geq10^{45} ,erg ,s^{-1}$. Thanks to their extreme radiative output across the Mid-IR-to-X-ray range, WISSH QSOs offer the opportunity to significantly extend and validate the existing relations involving $L_{2-10}$. We study $L_{2-10}$ as a function of (i) X-ray-to-Optical (X/O) flux ratio, (ii) mid-IR luminosity ($L_{MIR}$), (iii) $L_{Bol}$ as well as (iv) $alpha_{OX}$ vs. the 2500$mathring{A}$ luminosity. We find that WISSH QSOs show very low X/O(<0.1) compared to typical AGN values; $L_{2-10}/L_{MIR}$ ratios significantly smaller than those derived for AGN with lower luminosity; large X-ray bolometric corrections $k_{rm Bol,X}sim$ 100-1000; and steep $-2<alpha_{OX}<-1.7$. These results lead to a scenario where the X-ray emission of hyper-luminous quasars is relatively weaker compared to lower-luminosity AGN. Models predict that such an X-ray weakness can be relevant for the acceleration of powerful high-ionization emission line-driven winds, commonly detected in the UV spectra of WISSH QSOs, which can in turn perturb the X-ray corona and weaken its emission. Accordingly, hyper-luminous QSOs represent the ideal laboratory to study the link between the AGN energy output and wind acceleration. Additionally, WISSH QSOs show very large BH masses ($log[M_{rm BH}/M_{odot}]$>9.5). This enables a more robust modeling of the $Gamma-M_{BH}$ relation by increasing the statistics at high masses. We derive a flatter $Gamma$ dependence than previously found over the broad range 5 <$log(M_{rm BH}/M_{odot})$ < 11.
We present new XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the galaxy merger IRAS F05189-2524 which is classified as an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) and optical Seyfert 2 at $z$ = 0.0426. We test a variety of spectral models which yields a best-f
it consisting of an absorbed power law with emission and absorption features in the Fe K band. Remarkably, we find evidence for a blueshifted Fe K absorption feature at $E$ = 7.8 keV (rest-frame) which implies an ultra-fast outflow (UFO) with $v_{mathrm{out}} = 0.11 pm 0.01c$. We calculate that the UFO in IRAS F05189-2524 has a mass outflow rate of $dot{M}_{mathrm{out}} gtrsim 1.0 M_odot$ yr$^{-1}$, a kinetic power of $dot{E}_{mathrm{K}} gtrsim$ 8% $L_{mathrm{AGN}}$, and a momentum rate (or force) of $dot{P}_{mathrm{out}} gtrsim 1.4 L_{mathrm{AGN}}/c$. Comparing the energetics of the UFO to the observed multi-phase outflows at kiloparsec scales yields an efficiency factor of $fsim0.05$ for an energy-driven outflow. Given the uncertainties, however, we cannot exclude the possibility of a momentum-driven outflow. Comparing IRAS F05189-2524 with nine other objects with observed UFOs and large-scale galactic outflows suggests that there is a range of efficiency factors for the coupling of the energetics of the nuclear and galaxy-scale outflows that likely depend on specific physical conditions in each object.
We present X-ray data for a complete sample of 44 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These are the X-ray observations of the high luminosity portion of the Great Observatory All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS), w
hich includes the most luminous infrared selected galaxies, log (Lir/Lsun) > 11.73, in the local universe, z < 0.088. X-rays were detected from 43 out of 44 objects, and their arcsec-resolution images, spectra, and radial brightness distributions are presented. With a selection by hard X-ray colour and the 6.4 keV iron line, AGN are found in 37% of the objects, with higher luminosity sources more likely to contain an AGN. These AGN also tend to be found in late-stage mergers. The AGN fraction would increase to 48% if objects with mid-IR [Ne V] detection are included. Double AGN are clearly detected only in NGC 6240 among 24 double/triple systems. Other AGN are found either in single nucleus objects or in one of the double nuclei at similar rates. Objects without conventional X-ray signatures of AGN appear to be hard X-ray quiet, relative to the X-ray to far-IR correlation for starburst galaxies, as discussed elsewhere. Most objects also show extended soft X-ray emission, which is likely related to an outflow from the nuclear region, with a metal abundance pattern suggesting enrichment by core collapse supernovae, as expected for a starburst.
In this study, we investigate the X-ray properties of WISE J090924.01+000211.1 (WISEJ0909+0002), an extremely luminous infrared (IR) galaxy (ELIRG) at $z_{rm spec}$= 1.871 in the eROSITA final equatorial depth survey (eFEDS). WISEJ0909+0002 is a WISE
22 $mu$m source, located in the GAMA-09 field, detected by eROSITA during the performance and verification phase. The corresponding optical spectrum indicates that this object is a type-1 active galactic nucleus (AGN). Observations from eROSITA combined with Chandra and XMM-Newton archival data indicate a very luminous ($L$ (2--10 keV) = ($2.1 pm 0.2) times 10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$) unobscured AGN with a power-law photon index of $Gamma$ = 1.73$_{-0.15}^{+0.16}$, and an absorption hydrogen column density of $log,(N_{rm H}/{rm cm}^{-2}) < 21.0$. The IR luminosity was estimated to be $L_{rm IR}$ = (1.79 $pm$ 0.09) $times 10^{14}, L_{odot}$ from spectral energy distribution modeling based on 22 photometric data (X-ray to far-IR) with X-CIGALE, which confirmed that WISEJ0909+0002 is an ELIRG. A remarkably high $L_{rm IR}$ despite very low $N_{rm H}$ would indicate that we are witnessing a short-lived phase in which hydrogen gas along the line of sight is blown outwards, whereas warm and hot dust heated by AGNs still exist. As a consequence of eROSITA all-sky survey, $6.8_{-5.6}^{+16}times 10^2$ such X-ray bright ELIRGs are expected to be discovered in the entire extragalactic sky ($|b| > 10^circ$). This can potentially be the key population to constrain the bright-end of IR luminosity functions.
We report results of a Chandra observation of the X-ray luminous star-forming galaxy Arp299 (NGC3690/IC694). We detect 18 discrete X-ray sources with luminosities above ~10^39 ergs (0.5-8.0 keV band), which contribute ~40% of the total galactic emiss
ion in this band. The remaining emission is associated with a diffuse component spatially coincident with regions of widespread star-formation. We detect X-ray emission from both nuclei. One of the discrete sources within the complex nuclear region of NGC 3690 is found to have a very hard spectrum and therefore we associate it with the origin of the AGN-like spectrum that has also been detected at high X-ray energies using Beppo-SAX.
