An ionised accretion disc wind in Hercules X-1
P. Kosec, A. C. Fabian, C. Pinto +3
Hercules X-1 is one of the best studied highly magnetised neutron star X-ray binaries with a wealth of archival data. We present the discovery of an ionised wind in its X-ray spect…
XMM-Newton Campaign On Ultraluminous X-ray Source NGC 1313 X-1: Wind vs. State Variability
C. Pinto, D. J. Walton, E. Kara +12
Most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be powered by neutron stars and black holes accreting beyond the Eddington limit. If the compact object is a black hole or a…
The discovery of weak coherent pulsations in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-2
R. Sathyaprakash, T. P. Roberts, D. J. Walton +8
We report the detection of weak pulsations from the archetypal ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 1313 X-2. Acceleration searches reveal sinusoidal pulsations in segments of two…
Thermal stability of winds driven by radiation pressure in super-Eddington accretion disks
Ciro Pinto, Missagh Mehdipour, Dom J. Walton +7
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are mainly powered by accretion in neutron stars or stellar-mass black holes. Accreting at rates exceeding the Eddington limit by factors of a fe…
Searching for the Donor Stars of ULX Pulsars
M. Heida, F. A. Harrison, M. Brightman +3
We report on our search for the optical counterparts of two ultraluminous X-ray pulsars with known orbital periods, M82 X-2 and NGC 5907 X-1, in new and archival HST observations,…
