... We use the first XMM serendipitous source catalogue (1XMM) to compile a sample of normal X-ray galaxies . ... We combine our emission line sample with earlier works forming the most comprehensive X-ray selected galaxy sample for the study of the X-ray luminosity to the H? luminosity - a well-calibrated star-formation indicator - relation. ... We find that the X-ray luminosity strongly correlates with the H? luminosity, suggesting that the X-rays efficiently trace the star-formation. | ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...
