The response of the X-ray luminosity to the interaction strength in Seyfert 1 & 2 galaxies

We have correlated a sample of 99 Seyfert 1 and 98 Seyfert 2 (Rafanelli et al., 1995) interacting galaxies with the survey and pointed ROSAT data and have detected 91 Seyferts 1 and 47 Seyfert 2s in the X-ray band. We have performed spectral and timing analysis of the X-ray detected sources, and we have examined the relation of the X-ray luminosity L_X with the interaction strength Q.
