abstract = "We present new, deep Chandra X-ray and Giant Metrewave Radio
Telescope 610 MHz observations of the spiral-galaxy-rich compact
group HCG 16, which we use to examine nuclear activity, star
formation, and high-luminosity X-ray binary populations in the
major galaxies. We confirm the presence of obscured active nuclei
in NGC 833 and NGC 835, and identify a previously unrecognized
nuclear source in NGC 838. All three nuclei are variable on
timescales of months to years, and for NGC 833 and NGC 835 this is
most likely caused by changes in accretion rate. The deep Chandra
observations allow us to detect for the first time an Fe K alpha
emission line in the spectrum of the Seyfert 2 nucleus of NGC 835.
We find that NGC 838 and NGC 839 are both starburst-dominated
systems, with only weak nuclear activity, in agreement with
previous optical studies. We estimate the star formation rates in
the two galaxies from their X-ray and radio emission, and compare
these results with estimates from the infrared and ultraviolet
bands to confirm that star formation in both galaxies is probably
declining after galaxy-wide starbursts were triggered similar to
400-500 Myr ago. We examine the physical properties of their
galactic superwinds, and find that both have temperatures of
similar to 0.8 keV. We also examine the X-ray and radio properties
of NGC 848, the fifth largest galaxy in the group, and show that
it is dominated by emission from its starburst.",
