Timing properties of ULX pulsars: optically thick envelopes and outflows
It has recently been discovered that a fraction of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) exhibit X-ray pulsations, and are therefore powered by super-Eddington accretion on to magnetized neutron stars (NSs). For typical ULX mass accretion rates (≳1019gs−1), the inner parts of the accretion disc are e...
