Abstract

The study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has changed dramatically over the last decade. In this review we first describe the most important observations of ULXs in various wavebands, and across multiple scales in space and time. We discuss recent progress and current unanswered questions. We consider the range of current theories of ULX properties in the light of this observational progress. Applying these models to neutron-star ULXs offers particularly stringent tests, as this is the unique case where the mass of the accretor is effectively fixed.

超亮x射线源

在过去的十年里，对超发光X射线源（ULX）的研究发生了巨大的变化。在这篇综述中，我们首先描述了ULX在不同波段以及在空间和时间的多个尺度上的最重要观测结果。我们讨论最近的进展和目前尚未解决的问题。根据这一观测进展，我们考虑了ULX性质的当前理论范围。将这些模型应用于中子星ULX提供了特别严格的测试，因为这是吸积器质量有效固定的独特情况。
