X-ray and optical decline of the intermediate mass black hole HLX-1
Roberto Soria, Maya Garbaccio Gili, Francesco Massaro +2
HLX-1 is a prominent intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidate, historically exhibiting recurrent X-ray outbursts with spectral state transitions analogous to those observed in…
Pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources: modeling the thermal emission and polarization properties
S. Conforti, L. Zampieri, R. Taverna +4
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are enigmatic sources first discovered in the 1980s in external galaxies. They are characterized by their extraordinarily high X-ray luminosity,…
Skipping a beat: discovery of persistent quasi-periodic oscillations associated with pulsed fraction drop of the spin signal in M51 ULX-7
Matteo Imbrogno, Sara Elisa Motta, Roberta Amato +24
The discovery of pulsations in (at least) six ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has shown that neutron stars can accrete at (highly) super-Eddington rates, challenging the standar…
A multi-wavelength view of distinct accretion regimes in the pulsating ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-2
Rajath Sathyaprakash, Timothy P. Roberts, Fabien Grisè +7
NGC 1313 X-2 is one of the few known pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources (PULXs), and so is thought to contain a neutron star that accretes at highly super-Eddington rates. Howev…
Modelling multiwavelength emission of Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources accreting above the Eddington limit
Elena Ambrosi, Luca Zampieri, Fabio Pintore +1
We model the multiwavelength properties of binaries accreting at super-critical rates with the aim to better understand the observational properties of Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources…
Constraining Models of the Pulsar Wind Nebula in SNR G0.9+0.1 via Simulation of its Detection Properties using the Cherenkov Telescope Array
M. Fiori, L. Zampieri, A. Burtovoi +2
SNR G0.9+0.1 is a well known source in the direction of the Galactic Center composed by a Supernova Remnant (SNR) and a Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) in the core. We investigate the pot…
