Statistical study of a large and cleaned sample of ultraluminous and
hyperluminous X-ray sources
Ultra-/hyper-luminous X-ray sources (ULX/HLX) could be interesting laboratories to improve our understanding of the supermassive black hole growth through super-Eddington accretion episodes and successive mergers of lighter holes. ULXs are thought to be powered by super-Eddington accretion on stellar-mass compact objects, while HLXs may be explained by accretion on intermediate-mass …
