Exploring the nature of the brightest hyper-luminous X-ray source
The small subset of hyper-luminous X-ray sources with luminosities in excess of ~1041 erg s-1 are hard to explain without the presence of an intermediate mass black hole, as significantly super-Eddington accretion and/or very small beaming angles are required. The recent discovery of HLX-1, the most...
