The 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 کاملX - ray flares from the ultra - luminous X - ray source in NGC 5408
We have studied an ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) in the dwarf galaxy NGC 5408 with a series of XMM-Newton observations, between 2001 July and 2003 January. We find that its X-ray spectrum is best fitted with a power law of photon index Γ ≈ 2.6–2.9 and a thermal component with blackbody temperature kT bb ≈ 0.12–0.14 keV. These spectral features, and the inferred luminosity ≈ 10 40 erg s −1 i...
متن کاملThe optical counterpart of the ultra - luminous x - ray source NGC 5204 X - 1 ⋆
We use archival HST/WFPC2 V and I band images to show that the optical counterpart to the ultra-luminous x-ray source NGC 5204 X-1, reported by Roberts et al., is composed of two sources separated by 0.5”. We have also identified a third source as a possible counterpart, which lies 0.8” from the nominal X-ray position. PSF fitting photometry yields V-band magnitudes of 20.3, 22.0 and 22.4 for t...
