Exploring the Nature of the Brightest Hyper-luminous X-ray Source
Sean Farrell, Mathieu Servillat, Klaas Wiersema +7
The small subset of hyper-luminous X-ray sources with luminosities in excess of ~1E41 erg/s are hard to explain without the presence of an intermediate mass black hole, as signific…
A Redshift for the Intermediate Mass Black Hole Candidate HLX-1: Confirmation of its Association with the Galaxy ESO 243-49
Klaas Wiersema, Sean A. Farrell, Natalie A. Webb +4
In this Letter we report a spectroscopic confirmation of the association of HLX-1, the brightest ultra-luminous X-ray source, with the galaxy ESO 243-49. At the host galaxy distanc…
Chandra and Swift Follow-up Observations of the Intermediate Mass Black Hole in ESO243-49
N. A. Webb, D. Barret, O. Godet +3
The brightest Ultra-Luminous X-ray source HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49 provides strong evidence for the existence of intermediate mass black holes. As the luminosity and thus the…
Further Observations of the Intermediate Mass Black Hole Candidate ESO 243-49 HLX-1
S. A. Farrell, M. Servillat, S. R. Oates +4
The brightest Ultra-Luminous X-ray source HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49 currently provides strong evidence for the existence of intermediate mass black holes. Here we present the…
