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…

The Broadband View of the Bare Seyfert PG 1426+015: Relativistic Reflection, the Soft Excess and the Importance of Oxygen

D. J. Walton, A. Madathil-Pottayil, P. Kosec +8

We present results from a deep, coordinated - + observation of the type 1 Seyfert PG 1426+015, a source of particular interest as the most massive reverberati…

Rapidly varying ionization features in a Quasi-periodic Eruption: a homologous expansion model for the spectroscopic evolution

Joheen Chakraborty, Peter Kosec, Erin Kara +9

Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of soft X-ray emission from supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which a growing class of models explains via extreme mass-ratio i…

A new pulsating neutron star in the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7?

F. Pintore, C. Pinto, G. Rodriguez-Castillo +17

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are extragalactic objects with X-ray luminosities above the Eddington limit for a 10 Msun black hole (BH). ULXs may host super-Eddington accreting…

Hyperluminous Supersoft X-Ray Sources in the Chandra Catalog

Andrea Sacchi, Kevin Paggeot, Steven Dillmann +2

Hyperluminous supersoft X-ray sources, such as bright extragalactic sources characterized by particularly soft X-ray spectra, offer a unique opportunity to study accretion onto sup…
