Ionized emission and absorption in a large sample of ultraluminous X-ray sources

Ionized emission and absorption in a large sample of ultraluminous X-ray sources

Most Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be powered by super-Eddington accretion onto stellar-mass compact objects. Accretors in this extreme regime are naturally expected to ionise copious amounts of plasma in their vicinity and launch powerful radiation-driven outflows from their discs. High spectral resolution X-ray observations (with RGS gratings …
