Ultra-luminous X-ray sources and neutron-star–black-hole mergers from very massive close binaries at low metallicity
Gravitational waves from the binary black hole (BH) merger GW150914 may enlighten our understanding of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), as BHs>30Msun can reach luminosities>4x10^39 erg s^-1 without exceeding their Eddington limit. It is then important to study variations of evoluti...
