The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Studying Extreme Accretion with Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
Matteo Bachetti, Matthew J. Middleton, Ciro Pinto +25
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent an extreme class of accreting compact objects: from the identification of some of the accretors as neutron stars to the detection of po…
Early hard X-rays from the nearby core-collapse supernova SN2023ixf
Brian W. Grefenstette, Murray Brightman, Hannah P. Earnshaw +2
We present NuSTAR observations of the nearby SN 2023ixf in M101 (d=6.9 Mpc) which provide the earliest hard X-ray detection of a non-relativistic stellar explosion to date at $δt\a…
A new sample of transient ultraluminous X-ray sources serendipitously discovered by Swift/XRT
Murray Brightman, Jean-Marie Hameury, Jean-Pierre Lasota +11
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are our best laboratories for studying extreme super-Eddington accretion. Most studies of these objects are of relatively persistent sources, how…
Probing the nature of the low state in the extreme ultraluminous X-ray pulsar NGC 5907 ULX1
F. Fuerst, D. J. Walton, G. L. Israel +13
NGC 5907 ULX1 is the most luminous ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP) known to date, reaching luminosities in excess of 1e41 erg/s. The pulsar is known for its fast spin-up during…
