Investigating the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 with the slimbh model

In this paper we present a comprehensive study of the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49. We analyse the continuum X-ray spectra collected by Swift, XMM-Newton, and Chandra with the slim disc model, SLIMBH, and estimate the black hole mass for the …
