X-ray sources <1 degree from Seyfert galaxies

Of all Seyferts known this represents a sample 88% complete to B_T_=10mag, 74% complete to 11mag and 50% complete to 12mag. Using the same reduction algorithm, 14 fields centered on stars at high galactic latitudes have been used as control fields.

Excluding the two brightest Seyferts, a subset of 24 Seyferts with corrected apparent magnitude between 8.04<B^o,i^_T_<12.90mag show a minimum excess of 46 bright X-ray sources generally distributed between 10 and 25' from the target galaxy. The significances of association of these sources with the Seyferts in the median brightness range are as high as 7.4-sigma.
