A Complete Sample of Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Host Galaxies

One hundred seven ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with 0.3–10.0 keV luminosities in excess of 1039 erg sāˆ’1 are identified in a complete sample of 127 nearby galaxies. The sample includes all galaxies within 14.5Mpc above the completeness limits of both the Uppsala Galaxy Catalogue and the Infrare...
