Abstract
We investigate the distribution of soft X-rays and their spectral characteristics for a sample of nearby nuclear starburst galaxies in order to probe their evolution. NGC 4569 is a bright early-type spiral in the Virgo cluster, one of the few blue-shifted galaxies outside the local group. It is gas-deficient in the outer spiral arms, the neutral hydrogen strongly concentrated in the inner region [1]. The bright nucleus, embedded in a normal stellar bulge, is probably the result of a recent star formation episode [4]. Based upon optical spectroscopy of its nucleus [5], the galaxy has been classified as a LINER. The results on NGC 2903 will be presented separately [2].
