We present an X-ray binary population synthesis model, and use it to simulate the evolution of X-ray binaries formed in a burst of star formation of duration 20 Myr and star-formation rate 10 M$_{\odot}$ yr−1. We find that the X-ray luminous phase persists long after the star-formation episode has ended. The 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity can reach values of 1040−1041 erg s−1, comparable to those of some Seyfert galaxies. These models are directly applicable to starburst galaxies as well as LINERs powered by vigorous star formation.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
