Multi-wavelength spectroscopic analysis of the ULX Holmberg II X-1 and its nebula suggests the presence of a heavy black hole accreting from a B-type donor
S. Reyero Serantes, L. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +11
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are high-mass X-ray binaries with an X-ray luminosity above erg s. These ULXs can be powered by black holes that are more massi…
Whispering in the dark: Faint X-ray emission from black holes with OB star companions
Koushik Sen, Ileyk El Mellah, Norbert Langer +3
Context. Recent astrometric and spectroscopic surveys of OB stars have revealed a few stellar-mass black holes (BHs) with orbital periods as low as 10 days. No X-ray counterpart ha…
Phase-resolved spectroscopic analysis of the eclipsing black hole X-ray binary M33 X-7: System properties, accretion, and evolution
V. Ramachandran, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +10
M33 X-7 is the only known eclipsing black hole high mass X-ray binary. The system is reported to contain a very massive O supergiant donor and a massive black hole in a short orbit…
