HI study of the environment around ESO 243-49, the host galaxy of an intermediate mass black hole
A. Musaeva, B. S. Koribalski, S. A. Farrell +9
The lenticular galaxy ESO 243-49 hosts the ultraluminous X-ray source HLX-1, the best candidate intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) currently known. The environments of IMBHs remai…
Herschel observations of dust around the high-mass X-ray binary GX 301-2
Mathieu Servillat, Alexis Coleiro, Sylvain Chaty +2
We aim at characterising the structure of the gas and dust around the high mass X-ray binary GX 301-2, a highly obscured X-ray binary hosting a hypergiant star and a neutron star,…
Near-infrared counterparts of ultraluminous X-ray sources
M. Heida, P. G. Jonker, M. A. P. Torres +7
In this paper we present the results of the first systematic search for counterparts to nearby ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the near-infrared (NIR). We observed 62 ULXs in…
Investigating the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 with the SLIMBH model
Odele Straub, Olivier Godet, Natalie Webb +2
In this paper we present a comprehensive study of the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49. We analyse the continuum X-ray spectra coll…
