Crossing the Eddington Limit: Examining Disk Spectra at High Accretion Rates

The faintest ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), those with 0.3-10 keV luminosities 1 < Lx/10 39 < 3 erg s-1, tend to have X-ray spectra that are disk-like but broader than expected for thin accretion disks. These "broadened disk (BD)" spectra are thought to indicate near- or mildly...
