The Disk-Corona Model and Mass Estimates of the Ultraluminous X-ray Source Holmberg IX X-1

The origin of the variable X-ray emission in the $(0.3-30)\,$keV energy range of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) remains unclear, making it difficult to constrain the mass of the central compact object. X-ray luminosities of bright ULXs can be explained with sub-critical accretion ($L
