The Ultraluminous X-ray sources population of the galaxy NGC 7456

F. Pintore, M. Marelli, R. Salvaterra +28

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are a class of accreting compact objects with X-ray luminosities above 1e39 erg/s. The ULX population counts several hundreds objects but only a…

Discovery of a 2.8 s pulsar in a 2 d orbit High-Mass X-ray Binary powering the Ultraluminous X-ray source ULX-7 in M51

G. A. Rodríguez Castillo, G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore +26

We discovered 2.8 s pulsations in the X-ray emission of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M51 ULX-7 within the UNSEeN project, which was designed to hunt for new pulsating ULXs…

Discovery of 3 s pulsations from the Brightest Hard X-ray Source in M31

Guillermo A. Rodríguez Castillo, Gian Luca Israel, Paolo Esposito +4

We report the discovery with XMM-Newton of 3-s X-ray pulsations from 3XMM J004232.1+411314, a dipping source that dominates the hard X-ray emission of M31. This finding unambiguous…

AX J1910.7+0917: the slowest X-ray pulsar

L. Sidoli, G. L. Israel, P. Esposito +2

Pulsations from the high mass X-ray binary AXJ1910.7+0917 were discovered during Chandra observations performed in 2011 (Israel et al. 2016). We report here more details on this di…

Swift J201424.9+152930: discovery of a new deeply eclipsing binary with 491 s and 3.4 h modulations

P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, D. de Martino +13

We report on the discovery of a new X-ray pulsator, Swift J201424.9+152930 (Sw J2014). Owing to its X-ray modulation at 491 s, it was discovered in a systematic search for coherent…
