Unveiling the biconical geometry of the outflow in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5204 X-1

S. Caserta, C. Pinto, T. Di Salvo +9

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are non-nuclear X-ray binary systems that exceed the Eddington luminosity for a 10 Msun black hole. The majority of these sources are thought to…

XMM-Newton multi-year campaign on NGC 55 ULX-1: Resolving the wind and its variability with RGS

C. Pinto, S. Caserta, F. Barra +12

Winds are an important ingredient in the evolution of X-ray binary (XRB) systems, particularly those at high accretion rates such as ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), because th…

XRISM/Resolve observations of Hercules X-1: vertical structure and kinematics of the disk wind

Peter Kosec, Laura Brenneman, Erin Kara +11

X-ray binary accretion disk winds can carry away a significant fraction of the matter transferred from the companion and hence strongly affect the accretion flow and the long-term…

Constraining the Number Density of the Accretion Disk Wind in Hercules X-1 Using its Ionization Response to X-ray Pulsations

P. Kosec, D. Rogantini, E. Kara +6

X-ray binaries are known to launch powerful accretion disk winds that can have significant impact on the binary systems and their surroundings. To quantify the impact and determine…

On the nature of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg II X-1

F. Barra, C. Pinto, M. Middleton +4

We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg II X-1 using broadband and high-resolution X-ray spectra taken with the XMM-Newton satellite…

Detection of a variable ultra-fast outflow in the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy PG 1448+273

P. Kosec, A. Zoghbi, D. J. Walton +4

Relativistically blueshifted absorption features of highly ionised ions, the so-called ultra-fast outflows (UFOs), have been detected in the X-ray spectra of a number of accreting…
