The modulated emission of the ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 3379
We report recent Chandra observations of the ULX in the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 that clearly detect two flux variability cycles. Comparing these data with the Chandra observation of ∼5 years ago, we measure a flux modulation with a period of ∼12.6 hr. Moreover, we find that the emission undergoes...
