On the Nature of Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources from Optical/IR Measurements
Mark Cropper, Christopher Copperwheat, Kinwah Wu +1
We present a model for the prediction of the optical/infra-red emission from ULXs. In the model, ULXs are binary systems with accretion taking place through Roche lobe overflow. We…

Irradiation models for ULXs and fits to optical data
C. M. Copperwheat, M. Cropper, R. Soria +1
We have constructed a model which describes the optical emission from ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), and have used it to constrain the parameters of seven ULX systems. Our mod…
