Difference between Astrophysical X-ray source and Seyfert galaxy

Astrophysical X-ray source vs. Seyfert galaxy

Astrophysical X-ray sources are astronomical objects with physical properties which result in the emission of X-rays. Seyfert galaxies are one of the two largest groups of active galaxies, along with quasars.

Similarities between Astrophysical X-ray source and Seyfert galaxy

Astrophysical X-ray source and Seyfert galaxy have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Accretion disk, Active galactic nucleus, Astronomical object, Astronomical radio source, Compton scattering, Corona, Doppler effect, Goddard Space Flight Center, Helium, Hydrogen, Luminosity, Milky Way, NASA, NGC 4151, Quasar, Spectral line, Star, Sun, Supermassive black hole, Supernova, Synchrotron radiation, Ultraviolet, X-ray.

Accretion disk

An accretion disk is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.

Active galactic nucleus

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a compact region at the center of a galaxy that has a much higher than normal luminosity over at least some portion—and possibly all—of the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that the excess luminosity is not produced by stars.
