A mass of less than 15 solar masses for the black hole in an ultraluminous X-ray source

A mass of less than 15 solar masses for the black hole in an ultraluminous X-ray source

Most ultraluminous X-ray sources have a typical set of properties not seen in Galactic stellar-mass black holes. They have luminosities of more than 3 × 10 39 ergs per second, unusually soft X-ray components (with a typical temperature of less than about 0.3 kiloelectronvolts) and a characteristic d...
