A Newly Identified Transient Ultraluminous X-ray Source in M31

Ferdinand, Murray Brightman, Jean-Marie Hameury +9

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are off-nuclear X-ray sources with luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit of typical stellar-mass compact objects. While most known ULXs are…

Extreme AGN Variability in WISE: Powerful Flares and Candidate Tidal Disruption Events in AGN

Satya Teja Anuraag Upadhyayula, Daniel Stern, Kishalay De +7

We present first results from a systematic study of extreme mid-infrared variability of active galaxies across the -year baseline of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (W…

A Broadband X-ray Analysis and Optical Counterpart Search of IC5052 ULX

Nabil Brice, Dominic J. Walton, Felix Fürst +10

We present broadband X-ray spectral and timing analysis of the Ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) in IC5052 using simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations from 2022, suppleme…

XMM-Newton and Swift Unveil Another X-Ray Transient in NGC 4945, XMM J130514.64-493311.27

Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann +2

NGC 4945 hosts a Compton-thick, low luminosity AGN and a nuclear starburst in its core and has been the subject of many previous X-ray investigations of the AGN emission structure,…

Fast X-ray transients in NuSTAR data

Murray Brightman, Joahan Castañeda Jaimes, Daniel Stern +1

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are flashes of X-rays that last for a few hundreds of seconds to a few hours. An enigmatic population of these transients that did not have a clear ori…

A NuSTAR study of quasi-periodic oscillations from the ultraluminous X-ray sources in M82

Hamza El Byad, Matteo Bachetti, Silvia Columbu +13

The study of quasi-periodic oscillations in X-ray binaries provides valuable insights into the physics of accretion around compact objects. The M82 galaxy hosts two ultraluminous X…
