Optical models for ultraluminous X-ray sources

We investigate the evolution of the properties of model populations of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) consisting of a black-hole accretor in a binary with a donor star. We have computed models corresponding to two different. populations of black-hole binaries: one invokes stellar-mass (similar t...
