The fading of two transient ultraluminous x-ray sources to below the stellar mass Eddington limit

The fading of two transient ultraluminous x-ray sources to below the stellar mass Eddington limit

We report new detections of the two transient ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in NGC 5128 from an ongoing series of Chandra observations. Both sources have previously been observed Lx (2-3) × ~1039 erg s–1, at the lower end of the ULX luminosity range. The new observations allow us to study these...
