X-ray properties of two transient ULX candidates in galaxy NGC 7090
We report the X-ray data analysis of two transient ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs, hereafter X1 and X2) located in the nearby galaxy NGC 7090. While they were not detected in the 2004 XMM-Newton and 2005 Chandra observations, their 0.3-10 keV X-ray luminosities reached $>3\times10^{39}\,\mathrm{erg\,s^{-1}}$ in later XMM-Newton or Swift observations, …
