The Large Deficit of HMXB Emission from Luminous Infrared Galaxies: the Case of the Circumnuclear Starburst Ring in NGC 7552

Lacey West, Kristen Garofali, Bret D. Lehmer +5

Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), the most extreme star-forming galaxies in the nearby (D30 Mpc) Universe, show a notable X-ray emission deficiency (up to a factor of 10…

The variability behavior of NGC 925 ULX-3

Hannah P. Earnshaw, Murray Brightman, Fiona A. Harrison +5

We report the results of a 2019-2021 monitoring campaign with Swift and associated target-of-opportunity observations with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, examining the spectral and timing…

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…

NIR Counterparts to ULXs (III): Completing the photometric survey and selected spectroscopic results

K. M. López, M. Heida, P. G. Jonker +5

We present results from the remaining sources in our search for near-infrared (NIR) candidate counterparts to ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) within 10 Mpc. We observed…

The (re)appearance of NGC 925 ULX-3, a new transient ULX

Hannah P. Earnshaw, Marianne Heida, Murray Brightman +8

We report the discovery of a third ULX in NGC 925 (ULX-3), detected in November 2017 by Chandra at a luminosity of erg s. Examination…

Discovery of a soft X-ray lag in the Ultraluminous X-ray Source NGC 1313 X-1

E. Kara, C. Pinto, D. J. Walton +14

Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs) provide a unique opportunities to probe the geometry and energetics of super-Eddington accretion. The radiative processes involved in super-Eddin…
