Fig. 7. -Isointensity contour maps of the X-ray emission of detected
galaxies superposed onto optical plates. Galaxies are ordered by increasing
RA. The galaxy name(s) and the Einstein sequence number are given for each
overlay. The energy band used for the IPC contour maps is also indicated (S,
H, or B; see text). For galaxies observed with both instruments, we give the
IPC map first, and then the HRI map. The lowest contour level corresponds to
a 2{sigma} enhancement over the background level. Subsequent contours
correspond to 3, 4, 5, and 6{sigma}. Above this, contours may be skipped in
strong sources to avoid crowding. A straight solid line represents the edge
of the x-ray field of view. Dashed lines indicate the boundaries of the IPC
ribs.
