Detection of kilosecond hard lags in the new pulsating ULX candidate NGC 7456 ULX-1

W. Leone, F. Pintore, C. Pinto +19

Context. Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be powered, in many cases, by super-Eddington accretion onto compact objects. While soft X-ray lags have been detected in…

A new pulsating neutron star in the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7?

F. Pintore, C. Pinto, G. Rodriguez-Castillo +17

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are extragalactic objects with X-ray luminosities above the Eddington limit for a 10 Msun black hole (BH). ULXs may host super-Eddington accreting…

The chameleon on the branches: spectral state transition and dips in NGC 247 ULX-1

A. D'Aì, C. Pinto, M. Del Santo +14

Soft Ultra-Luminous X-ray (ULXs) sources are a subclass of the ULXs that can switch from a supersoft spectral state, where most of the luminosity is emitted below 1 keV, to a soft…

The EXTraS Project: Exploring the X-ray transient and variable sky

A. De Luca, R. Salvaterra, A. Belfiore +29

Temporal variability in flux and spectral shape is ubiquitous in the X-ray sky and carries crucial information about the nature and emission physics of the sources. The EPIC instru…

The rare X-ray flaring activity of the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7

Fabio Pintore, S. Motta, C. Pinto +9

Ultraluminous X-ray sources are considered amongst the most extremely accreting objects in the local Universe. The recent discoveries of pulsating neutron stars in ULXs strengthene…
