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…
The EXTraS Project: Exploring the X-ray transient and variable sky
A. De Luca, R. Salvaterra, A. Belfiore +29
Temporal variability in flux and spectral shape is ubiquitous in the X-ray sky and carries crucial information about the nature and emission physics of the sources. The EPIC instru…
The rare X-ray flaring activity of the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7
Fabio Pintore, S. Motta, C. Pinto +9
Ultraluminous X-ray sources are considered amongst the most extremely accreting objects in the local Universe. The recent discoveries of pulsating neutron stars in ULXs strengthene…
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…
