XMM-Newton observations of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources

XMM-Newton observations of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources

We present an analysis of 13 of the best quality EPIC ULX datasets. We utilise the high signal-to-noise in these ULX spectra to investigate the best descriptions of their spectral shape in the 0.3-10 keV range. Simple models of an absorbed power-law or multicolour disc blackbody prove inadequate at describing …
