On the Nature of Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources from Optical/IR Measurements (2007)
Cropper, Mark, Copperwheat, Christopher, Wu, Kinwah, Soria, Roberto
We present a model for the prediction of the optical/infra-red emission from ULXs. In the model, ULXs are binary systems with accretion taking place through Roche lobe overflow. We show that...
Optical and Infrared Signatures of ULX's (2005)
Copperwheat, Christopher, Cropper, Mark, Soria, Roberto, Wu, Kinwah
We have constructed a model to describe the optical emission from ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). We assume a binary model with a black hole accreting matter from a Roche lobe filling companion...
