First Detection of Mid-infrared Variability from an Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Holmberg II X-1
We present mid-infrared (IR) light curves of the Ultraluminous X-ray Source (ULX) Holmberg II X-1 from observations taken between 2014 January 13 and 2017 January 5 with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 3.6 and 4.5 μm in the Spitzer Infrared Intensive Transients Survey. The mid-IR light curves, which reveal the first detection of mid-IR variability from a ULX, is determined to arise primarily fro...
متن کاملA Novel Few-Cycle Optical Source in the Mid-Infrared
In this thesis, I designed, simulated, and implemented a novel optical pulse generation system which is shown to be able to generate exceptionally short optical pulses in the mid-infrared, tunable from 2-4psm with pulse widths as low as 1.5 optical cycles at 3.5pum (18fs). Energies as high a 1pAJ were achieved, representing a peak power of roughly 100MW, at a 1kHz repetition rate, with excellen...
متن کاملXMM–Newton Observations of the Ultraluminous Nuclear X-ray Source in M33
We present observations with XMM-Newton of M33 X-8, the ultraluminous X-ray source (L0.5−10 keV ≈ 2× 10 erg/s) closest to the centre of the galaxy. The best-fit model is similar to the typical model of Galactic black holes in very high state. Comparison with previous observations indicates that the source is still in a very high state after about 20 years of observations. No state transition ha...
متن کاملNear - infrared evolution of brightest cluster galaxies in the most X - ray luminous clusters since
We investigate the near-infrared evolution of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) from a sample of rich galaxy clusters since z ∼ 1. By employing an X-ray selection of LX > 1044 erg s−1, we limit environmental effects by selecting BCGs in comparably high-density regions. We find a positive relationship between X-ray and near-infrared luminosity for BCGs in clusters with LX > 5 × 1044 erg s−1. App...
متن کاملAccretion Disk Spectra of the Brightest Ultra - luminous X - ray Source in M 82
Emission spectra of hot accretion disks characteristic of advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) models are investigated for comparison with the brightest ultra-luminous source, X-1, in the galaxy M82. If the spectral state of the source is similar to the low luminosity hard state of stellar mass black holes in our Galaxy, a fit to the Chandra X-ray spectrum and constraints from the radio an...
