Broadband X-ray spectral variability of the pulsing ULX NGC 1313 X-2
A. Robba, C. Pinto, D. J. Walton +12
It is thought that ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are mainly powered by super-Eddington accreting neutron stars or black holes as shown by recent discovery of X-ray pulsations…
A new pulsating neutron star in the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7?
F. Pintore, C. Pinto, G. Rodriguez-Castillo +17
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are extragalactic objects with X-ray luminosities above the Eddington limit for a 10 Msun black hole (BH). ULXs may host super-Eddington accreting…
A transient ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 55
A. Robba, C. Pinto, F. Pintore +14
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are a class of accreting compact objects with X-ray luminosities above 10 erg s. The average number of ULXs per galaxy is still not…
Unveiling the disc structure in ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 55 ULX-1
F. Barra, C. Pinto, D. J. Walton +11
Despite two decades of studies, it is still not clear whether ULX spectral transitions are due to stochastic variability in the wind or variations in the accretion rate or in the s…
The chameleon on the branches: spectral state transition and dips in NGC 247 ULX-1
A. D'Aì, C. Pinto, M. Del Santo +14
Soft Ultra-Luminous X-ray (ULXs) sources are a subclass of the ULXs that can switch from a supersoft spectral state, where most of the luminosity is emitted below 1 keV, to a soft…
Quasi-periodic dipping in the ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1
W. N. Alston, C. Pinto, D. Barret +15
Most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are believed to be stellar mass black holes or neutron stars accreting beyond the Eddington limit. Determining the nature of the compact obj…
