Abstract
Galaxies are essential building blocks in the Universe. However they are faint and complex X-ray sources and require high performance instrumentation to be properly studied. Yet they are fundamental for our understanding of the Universe, and a detailed knowledge of the local structures is mandatory to explain the deep and far Universe. We make a few examples, and discuss how well suited WFXT is to address this issue.
