[HTML][HTML] Ultraluminous X-ray sources

A King, JP Lasota, M Middleton - New Astronomy Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
The study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has changed dramatically over the last
decade. In this review we first describe the most important observations of ULXs in various …

Ultraluminous X-ray sources

P Kaaret, H Feng, TP Roberts - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
We review observations of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). X-ray spectroscopic and
timing studies of ULXs suggest a new accretion state distinct from those seen in Galactic …

The green valley is a red herring: Galaxy Zoo reveals two evolutionary pathways towards quenching of star formation in early-and late-type galaxies

K Schawinski, CM Urry, BD Simmons… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Abstract We use SDSS+ GALEX+ Galaxy Zoo data to study the quenching of star formation
in low-redshift galaxies. We show that the green valley between the blue cloud of star …

What drives the growth of black holes?

DM Alexander, RC Hickox - New Astronomy Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing at the centers of
massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in …

Intermediate-mass black holes in dwarf galaxies out to redshift ∼2.4 in the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey

M Mezcua, F Civano, S Marchesi, H Suh… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present a sample of 40 active galactic nucleus (AGN) in dwarf galaxies at redshifts z≲
2.4. The galaxies are drawn from the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy survey as having stellar …

Periodic fast radio bursts from luminous X-ray binaries

N Sridhar, BD Metzger, P Beniamini… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The discovery of periodicity in the arrival times of the fast radio bursts (FRBs) poses a
challenge to the oft-studied magnetar scenarios. However, models that postulate that FRBs …

Global structure of three distinct accretion flows and outflows around black holes from two-dimensional radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations

K Ohsuga, S Mineshige - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the detailed global structure of black hole accretion flows and outflows through
newly performed two-dimensional radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations. By starting …

Radio Nebulae from Hyperaccreting X-Ray Binaries as Common-envelope Precursors and Persistent Counterparts of Fast Radio Bursts

N Sridhar, BD Metzger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Roche lobe overflow from a donor star onto a black hole or neutron star binary companion
can evolve to a phase of unstable runaway mass transfer, lasting as short as hundreds of …

Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the Chandra and XMM-Newton era

H Feng, R Soria - New Astronomy Reviews, 2011 - Elsevier
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are accreting black holes that may contain the missing
population of intermediate mass black holes or reflect super-Eddington accretion physics …

Spin-driven jet feedback in idealized simulations of galaxy groups and clusters

F Huško, CG Lacey, J Schaye… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We implement a black hole spin evolution and jet feedback model into SWIFT, a smoothed
particle hydrodynamics code. The jet power is determined self-consistently assuming that …
