摘要: We present a broadband X-ray spectral analysis of the M51 system, including dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) and several off-nuclear point sources. Using deep observation by NuSTAR, new high-resolution coverage M51b Chandra, latest torus models, we measure intrinsic luminosities AGN in these galaxies. The M51a is found to be Compton thick, both have very low accretion rates ($\lambda_{\rm Edd} 10^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$ find that turnover below 10 keV most such sources, line with recent results on ultraluminous
