From ultraluminous X-ray sources to ultraluminous supersoft sources: NGC 55 ULX, the missing link

From ultraluminous X-ray sources to ultraluminous supersoft sources: NGC 55 ULX, the missing link

In recent work with high-resolution reflection grating spectrometers (RGS) aboard XMM–Newton, Pinto et al. have discovered that two bright and archetypal ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) have strong relativistic winds in agreement with theoretical predictions of high accretion rates. It has been p...
