The rare X-ray flaring activity of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7

The rare X-ray flaring activity of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7

Ultraluminous X-ray sources are considered amongst the most extremely accreting objects in the local Universe. The recent discoveries of pulsating neutron stars in ULXs strengthened the scenario of highly super-Eddington accretion mechanisms on stellar mass compact objects. In this work, we present the first long-term light curve of the source …
