3 1 A ug 2 00 9 Spectral Analyses of the Nearest Persistent Ultraluminous X - Ray Source M 33 X - 8 Shan -
We provide a detailed analysis of 12 XMM observations of the nearest persistent extragalactic ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX), M33 X-8. No significant spectral evolution is detected between the observations, therefore we combine the individual observations to increase the signal-to-noise ratio for spectral fitting. The combined spectra are best fitted by the self-consistent p-free disk plus po...
متن کاملThe X - ray spectral evolution of the ultraluminous X - ray source Holmberg IX X - 1
We present a new analysis of X-ray spectra of the archetypal ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) Holmberg IX X-1 obtained by the Swift, XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observatories. This ULX is a persistent source, with a typical luminosity of ∼10 erg s, that varied by a factor of 4 – 5 over eight years. We find that its spectra tend to evolve from relatively flat or two-component spectra in the medium ene...
متن کاملThe ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-2
NGC 1313 X-2 is one of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources in the sky, at both X-ray and optical wavelengths; therefore, quite a few studies of available ESO VLT and HST data have appeared in the literature. Here, we present our analysis of VLT/FORS1 and HST/ACS photometric data, confirming the identification of the B ∼ 23 mag blue optical counterpart. We show that the system is part of a...
متن کاملThe ultraluminous X - ray source population of NGC 4485 / 4490 .
We report the results of spectral and temporal variability studies of the ultraluminous Xray sources (ULXs) contained within the interacting pair of galaxies NGC 4485/4490, combining Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. Each of the four separate observations provide at least modest quality spectra and light curves for each of the six previously identified ULXs in this system; we also note the p...
