NGC 300 ULX1: spin evolution, super-Eddington accretion and outflows
arXiv:1905.03740 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stz2045
Abstract
NGC300 ULX1 is an ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar, showing an unprecedented spin evolution, from about 126 s to less than 20 s in only 4 years, consistent with steady mass accretion rate. Following its discovery we have been monitoring the system with Swift/XRT and NICER to further study its properties. We found that even though the observed flux of the system dropped by a factor of 20, the spin-up rate remained almost constant. A possible explanation is that the decrease in the observed flux is a result of increased absorption of obscuring material due to outflows or a precessing accretion disk.
