ultraluminous X-ray source
(ULX)
(X-ray source with luminosity between a star and an AGN)
An ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) is a source of X-rays
that is not as luminous as an active galactic nucleus (AGN) but is more luminous than
any established stellar process. It is not clear what they are.
A theory is that they are intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs).
