IUE and Einstein observations of NGC5204

Description

The use of both the Einstein and IUE observations of NGC5204 to test some of the hypotheses put forward as a result of an X-ray survey of blue peculiar late type galaxies is discussed. In particular the hypothesis that binary X-ray sources of Pop I progenitors are responsible for most of the X-ray emission, is strengthened by the IUE short wavelength spectrum of NGC5204. This spectrum suggests a number of OB stars in agreement with the inferred from the X-ray luminosity. It also shows an ultraviolet excess in agreement with the large X-ray to blue flux ratio
