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…
The chameleon on the branches: spectral state transition and dips in NGC 247 ULX-1
A. D'Aì, C. Pinto, M. Del Santo +14
Soft Ultra-Luminous X-ray (ULXs) sources are a subclass of the ULXs that can switch from a supersoft spectral state, where most of the luminosity is emitted below 1 keV, to a soft…
Broadband X-ray spectral variability of the pulsing ULX NGC 1313 X-2
A. Robba, C. Pinto, D. J. Walton +12
It is thought that ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are mainly powered by super-Eddington accreting neutron stars or black holes as shown by recent discovery of X-ray pulsations…
Quasi-periodic dipping in the ultraluminous X-ray source, NGC 247 ULX-1
W. N. Alston, C. Pinto, D. Barret +15
Most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are believed to be stellar mass black holes or neutron stars accreting beyond the Eddington limit. Determining the nature of the compact obj…
Multiwavelength investigation of the candidate Galactic PeVatron MGRO J1908+06
S. Crestan, A. Giuliani, S. Mereghetti +3
The candidate PeVatron MGRO J1908+06, which shows a hard spectrum beyond 100 TeV, is one of the most peculiar -ray sources in the Galactic plane. Its complex morphology and some…
Time Domain Astronomy with the THESEUS Satellite
S. Mereghetti, S. Balman, M. Caballero-Garcia +74
THESEUS is a medium size space mission of the European Space Agency, currently under evaluation for a possible launch in 2032. Its main objectives are to investigate the early Univ…
New X-ray observations of the hot subdwarf binary HD49798 / RXJ0648.0-4418
S. Mereghetti, F. Pintore, T. Rauch +7
HD49798 / RXJ0648.0-4418 is the only confirmed X-ray binary in which the mass donor is a hot subdwarf star of O spectral type and, most likely, it contains a massive white dwarf (1…
XMM-Newton campaign on the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 247 ULX-1: outflows
C. Pinto, R. Soria, D. Walton +13
Most ULXs are believed to be powered by super-Eddington accreting neutron stars and, perhaps, black holes. Above the Eddington rate the disc is expected to thicken and to launch po…
The rare X-ray flaring activity of the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7
Fabio Pintore, S. Motta, C. Pinto +9
Ultraluminous X-ray sources are considered amongst the most extremely accreting objects in the local Universe. The recent discoveries of pulsating neutron stars in ULXs strengthene…
