Models of ultraluminous X-ray sources with intermediate-mass black holes

We have computed models for ultraluminous X-ray sources ( ULXs) consisting of a black hole accretor of intermediate mass (IMBH; e.g., ~1000 M⊙) and a captured donor star. For each of four different sets of initial donor masses and orbital separations we computed 30,000 binaryevolution models using a...
