X-ray outbursts of ESO 243-49 HLX-1: Comparison with galactic low-mass X-ray binary transients

We studied the outburst properties of the hyper-luminous X-ray source ESO 243-49 HLX-1, using the full set of Swift monitoring observations. We quantified the increase in the waiting time, recurrence time, and e-folding rise timescale along the outburst sequence, and the corresponding decrease in ou...
