Abstract
We report long, pointed ROSAT HRI observations of the hyperluminous galaxies IRAS F00235+1024, F12514+1027, F14481+4454 and F14537+1950. Two of them are optically classified as Seyfert-like. No X-ray sources are detected at the positions of any of the objects, with a mean upper limit L_X/L_(Bo)l ≃ 2.3 × 10^(−4). This indicates that any active nuclei are either atypically weak at X-ray wavelengths or obscured by column densities N_H > 10^(23) cm^(−2). They differ markedly from ‘ordinary’ Seyfert 2 galaxies, bearing a closer resemblance in the soft X-ray band to composite Seyfert 2 galaxies or to some types of starburst.
