Prescriptions for the stochasticity effect on the integrated X-ray luminosity of star-forming galaxies:Implications for selecting star-forming galaxies and AGN in X-ray surveys
Elias Kyritsis, Andreas Zezas, Konstantinos Kovlakas
(abridged) The integrated X-ray luminosity (Lx) of star-forming galaxies is dominated by high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) populations. The discrete nature of these populations introdu…
HECATEv2: An all-sky galaxy catalogue for multimessenger astrophysics
E. Kyritsis, A. Zezas, K. Kovlakas +4
We present HECATEv2, the second release of the Heraklion Extragalactic Catalogue (HECATE), an all-sky, value-added galaxy catalogue comprising 204733 galaxies from the HyperLEDA da…
A machine-learning photometric classifier for massive stars in nearby galaxies II. The catalog
G. Maravelias, A. Z. Bonanos, K. Antoniadis +8
Mass loss is a key aspect of stellar evolution, particularly in evolved massive stars, yet episodic mass loss remains poorly understood. To investigate this, we need evolved massiv…
The hunt for new pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources: a clustering approach
Nicolò Oreste Pinciroli Vago, Roberta Amato, Matteo Imbrogno +5
The discovery of fast and variable coherent signals in a handful of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) testifies to the presence of super-Eddington accreting neutron stars, and dra…
