The impact of precession on the observed population of ULXs
Norman Khan, Matthew. J. Middleton, Grzegorz Wiktorowicz +3
The discovery of neutron stars powering several ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) raises important questions about the nature of the underlying population. In this paper we build…
Thermally driven winds in ULXs
Matthew Middleton, Nick Higginbottom, Christian Knigge +2
The presence of radiatively driven outflows is well established in ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). These outflows are optically thick and can reprocess a significant fraction o…
Predicting the self-lensing population in optical surveys
Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Matthew Middleton, Norman Khan +3
The vast majority of binaries containing a compact object and a regular star spend most of their time in a quiescent state where no strong interactions occur between components. De…
Wind-powered ultraluminous X-ray sources
Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Jean-Pierre Lasota, Krzysztof Belczynski +3
Although ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULX) are important for astrophysics due to their extreme apparent super-Eddington luminosities, their nature is still poorly known. Theoretic…
