Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources in Haro 11 and the Role of X-ray Binaries in Feedback in Lyman-alpha Emitting Galaxies

A. H. Prestwich, F. Jackson, P. Kaaret +4

Lyman Break Analogs (LBA) are local proxies of high-redshift Lyman Break Galaxies (LBG). Studies of nearby starbursts have shown that Lyman continuum and line emission are absorbed…

A deficit of ultraluminous X-ray sources in luminous infrared galaxies

W. Luangtip, T. P. Roberts, S. Mineo +5

We present results from a Chandra study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in a sample of 17 nearby (D_L<60 Mpc) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), selected to have star format…

Ultra-Luminous X-Ray Sources in the Most Metal Poor Galaxies

A. H. Prestwich, M. Tsantaki, A. Zezas +5

Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources (ULX) are X-ray binaries with Lx>1E^39 ergs/s. The most spectacular examples of ULX occur in starburst galaxies and are now understood to be young, lum…

On the nature of high X-ray luminosities in SDSS galaxies

F. E. Jackson, T. P. Roberts, D. M. Alexander +5

Surveys have revealed a class of object displaying both high X-ray luminosities (Lx > 10^42 erg/s), and a lack of a discernible active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the optical band. I…

The missing link: a low mass X-ray binary in M31 seen as an ultraluminous X-ray source

Matthew J. Middleton, Andrew D. Sutton, Timothy P. Roberts +2

A new, transient ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) was recently discovered by Chandra in M31 with a luminosity at ~ 5 x 10^39 erg/s. Here we analyse a series of five subsequent XMM-…

Challenging times: a re-analysis of NGC 5408 X-1

M. J. Middleton, T. P. Roberts, C. Done +1

The ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX), NGC 5408 X-1, is one of only 3 such objects to show a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in its power spectrum. Previous analysis of this signal…
