The application of slim disk models to ULX: the case of M33 X-8
arXiv:astro-ph/0506298 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2005.06.024
Abstract
A comparative XMM-Newton archival data spectral study of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M33 X-8 has been performed by using both the standard disk model and the newly developed slim disk models. The results of this analysis tend to confirm the hypothesis that M33 X-8 is an X-ray binary with a stellar-mass black hole accreting at super-Eddington rate.
