Outbursts of the intermediate-mass black hole HLX-1: a wind-instability scenario

We model the intermediate-mass black hole HLX-1, using the Hubble Space Telescope, XMM–Newton and Swift. We quantify the relative contributions of a bluer component, function of X-ray irradiation, and a redder component, constant and likely coming from an old stellar population. We estimate a black...
