XMM-Newton observations of ultraluminous X-ray sources and their host galaxies
The work begins with an investigation into the properties of a luminous extra-nuclear X-ray source in the Magellanic-type galaxy NGC 55. The observed X-ray luminosity of this source (> 1039 erg s -1) places it in the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) regime, a class of sources that may host a new,...
