Ultraluminous X-ray sources
We review observations of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). X-ray spectroscopic and
timing studies of ULXs suggest a new accretion state distinct from those seen in Galactic …

Periodic fast radio bursts from luminous X-ray binaries
The discovery of periodicity in the arrival times of the fast radio bursts (FRBs) poses a
challenge to the oft-studied magnetar scenarios. However, models that postulate that FRBs …

ULXs: Neutron stars versus black holes
We consider ultraluminous X–ray systems (ULXs) where the accretor is a neutron star rather
than a black hole. We show that the recently discovered example (M82 X–2) fits naturally …

Optically thick outflows in ultraluminous supersoft sources
R Urquhart, R Soria - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Ultraluminous supersoft sources (ULSs) are defined by a thermal spectrum with colour
temperatures∼ 0.1 keV, bolometric luminosities∼ a few 1039 erg s− 1, and almost no …

The origin of the ultraluminous X-Ray sources
Recently, several ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources were shown to host a neutron star (NS)
accretor. We perform a suite of evolutionary calculations, which show that, in fact, NSs are …

The origin of pulsating ultra-luminous X-ray sources: Low-and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries containing neutron star accretors
Context. Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are those X-ray sources located away from
the centre of their host galaxy with luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit of a stellar …
