    • Long-term pulse period evolution of the ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar NGC 7793 P13 

      Fuerst, F.; Walton, D. J.; Heida, M.; Bachetti, M.; Pinto, C.; Middleton, M. J.; Brightman, M.; Earnshaw, H. P.; Barret, D.; Fabian, A. C.; Kretschmar, P.; Pottschmidt, K.; Ptak, A.; Roberts, T.; Stern, D.; Webb, N.; Wilms, J. (2021-07-16)
      Ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars (ULXPs) provide a unique opportunity to study super-Eddington accretion. We present the results of a monitoring campaign of ULXP NGC 7793 P13. Over our four-year monitoring campaign with Swift, ...
    • A Multi-Mission Catalogue of Ultraluminous X-ray Source Candidates 

      Walton, D. J.; Mackenzie, A. D. A.; Gully, H.; Patel, N. R.; Roberts, T. P.; Earnshaw, H. P.; Mateos, S. (2022-01-01)
      We present a new, multi-mission catalogue of ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) candidates, based on recent data releases from each of the XMM-Newton, Swift and Chandra observatories (the 4XMM-DR10, 2SXPS and CSC2 catalogues, ...
    • Probing the nature of the low state in the extreme ultraluminous X-ray pulsar NGC 5907 ULX1 

      Fuerst, F.; Walton, D. J.; Israel, Gian Luca; Bachetti, M.; Barret, D.; Brightman, Murray; Earnshaw, H. P.; Fabian, A.; Heida, M.; Imbrogno, M.; Middleton, M. J.; Pinto, C.; Salvaterra, R.; Roberts, T. P.; Castillo, G. A. Rodríguez; Webb, N. (2023-04-12)
      NGC 5907 ULX1 is the most luminous ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP) known to date, reaching luminosities in excess of 1e41 erg/s. The pulsar is known for its fast spin-up during the on-state. Here, we present a long-term ...
