Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the first eROSITA survey I. Candidate catalogs
P. Weber, T. P. Roberts, S. Hämmerich +28
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are luminous non-nuclear X-ray point sources embedded in galaxies. Their luminosities exceeding 10^39 erg/s potentially require sub-Eddington acc…
A Faint Progenitor System for the Faint Supernova 2024vjm
Erez A. Zimmerman, Avishay Gal-Yam, Paul J. Groot +68
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are well known for their role as standardizable cosmological candles. Their uniformity is credited to their single origin as thermonuclear explosions of…
Harnessing the XMM-Newton data: X-ray spectral modelling of 4XMM-DR11 detections and 4XMM-DR11s sources
A. Viitanen, G. Mountrichas, H. Stiele +13
The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has played a prominent role in astrophysics, conducting precise and thorough observations of the X-ray sky for the past two decades. The most recen…
The population of hyperluminous X-ray sources as seen by XMM-Newton
Roberta Amato, Erwan Quintin, Hugo Tranin +7
Ultraluminous and hyperluminous X-ray sources (ULXs and HLXs) are among the brightest astrophysical objects in the X-ray sky. While ULXs most likely host stellar-mass compact objec…
Isolated neutron stars as Science Validation for XMM2ATHENA: Ensuring robust data for future X-ray Astronomy
Adriana Mancini Pires, Christian Motch, Axel Schwope +9
The discovery of radio-quiet, X-ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star pop…
STONKS: Quasi-real time XMM-Newton transient detection system
E. Quintin, N. A. Webb, I. Georgantopoulos +6
Over recent decades, astronomy has entered the era of massive data and real-time surveys. This is improving the study of transient objects - although they still contain some of the…
Tidal disruption events and quasi periodic eruptions
Natalie A. Webb, Didier Barret, Olivier Godet +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes close to a massive black hole, so that the tidal forces of the black hole exceed the binding energy of a star and cause it t…
Statistical study of a large and cleaned sample of ultraluminous and hyperluminous X-ray sources
Hugo Tranin, Natalie Webb, Olivier Godet +1
Ultra-/hyper-luminous X-ray sources (ULX/HLX) could be interesting laboratories to improve our understanding of the supermassive black hole growth through super-Eddington accretion…
Probabilistic classification of X-ray sources applied to Swift-XRT and XMM-Newton catalogs
Hugo Tranin, Olivier Godet, Natalie Webb +1
Context. Serendipitous X-ray surveys have proven to be an efficient way to find rare objects, for example tidal disruption events, changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGN), binar…
