Spectral variability of Ultra Luminous Compact X-ray Sources in Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Using the X-ray data taken with ASCA, a detailed analysis was made of intensity and spectral variations of three ultra-luminous extra-galactic compact X-ray sources (ULXs); IC 342 source 1, M81 X-6, and NGC 1313 source B, all exhibiting X-ray luminosity in the range 2 × 10–1.5 × 10 erg s−1. As already reported, IC 342 source 1 showed short-term X-ray intensity variability by a factor of 2.0 on ...
متن کاملX-ray Time and Spectral Variability as Probes of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
Title of dissertation: X-RAY TIME AND SPECTRAL VARIABILITY AS PROBES OF ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCES Dheeraj Ranga Reddy Pasham, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Coleman Miller Department of Astronomy A long-standing debate in the field of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs: luminosities & 3×1039 ergs s) is whether these objects are powered by stellarmass black holes...
متن کاملCompact X-ray sources: X-ray from self-reflection
X-ray has been an important scientific tool ever since its discovery in the 1890s. X-ray used to be generated by synchrotron machines, which are large and expensive devices. However, laser-based particle acceleration offers a way to reduce the size and cost of hard-X-ray sources. Scientists have now developed a simple scheme that produces a bright flash of hard-X-rays by using a single laser pu...
متن کاملVariability in Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources
Many upcoming surveys, particularly in the radio and optical domains, are designed to probe either the temporal and/or the spatial variability of a range of astronomical objects. In the light of these high resolution surveys, we review the subject of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources, which are thought to be accreting black holes for the most part. We also discuss the sub-class of ULXs known a...
متن کاملX-ray Emission from Compact Sources
This paper presents a review of the physical parameters of neutron stars and black holes that have been derived from X-ray observations. I then explain how these physical parameters can be used to learn about the extreme conditions occurring in regions of strong gravity, and present some recent evidence for relativistic e ects seen in these systems. A glossary of commonly used terms and a short...
