X-ray Binaries and Ultraluminous X-ray Sources Wiktorowicz G.

Abstract

      Ultraluminous X-ray sources remains mysterious despite all the research which was made recently. The simplest explanation, which involves the intermediate-mass black holes, has other substantial problems. On the other hand, the super-Eddington accretion provides explanation, which aims at connecting these sources with observed X-ray binary population. We showed that powering such a source is feasible even in the most extreme case of the system ESO 243-49 HLX-1, which reaches the luminosity of 1.1·10⁴²erg/s.
