DISCOVERY OF THE CANDIDATE OFF-NUCLEAR ULTRASOFT HYPER-LUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCE 3XMM J141711.1+522541

We report the discovery of an off-nuclear ultrasoft hyper-luminous X-ray source candidate 3XMM J141711.1+522541 in the inactive S0 galaxy SDSS J141711.07+522540.8 (z = 0.41827, d[subscript L] = 2.3 Gpc) in the Extended Groth Strip. It is located at a projected offset of ~1[" over .]0 (5.2 kpc)...
