Ueda (Kyoto Univ.) and NGC1313 team Abstract: Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are promising candidates for intermediate-mass black holes. Here we report about the Suzaku observation of two ULXs, X-1 and X-2, in NGC1313, both showed intensity-correlated spectral changes over a time span of 90 ks. The brighter source, X-1, exhibited the highest luminosity, 2.5 x 1040 erg/s in 0.4-10 keV, ever recorded from this source. The intensity and spectral variations of X-1 are both ascribed to a strong power-law like component with a mild high energy curvature, while about 10 % of the flux is carried by a stable soft component which can be modeled by a cool disk emission. These properties suggest that the source was in the “very high state”, wherein the disk emission is strongly Comptonized and the optically-thick disk is truncated at a large radii or cooled off. The spectrum of X-2 is best represented, in its fainter phase, by a multicolor blackbody model with the innermost disk temperature of 1.2-1.3 keV, and becomes flatter as the source becomes brighter. Hence X-2 is consistently interpreted to be in a slim disk state. These results suggest that the two ULXs have black hole masses of a few tens to a few hundreds solar masses. Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs): NGC 1313 in X-rays: • Point-like X-ray sources with Lx>=3x1039 erg/s • Discovered by Einstein Observatory (Fabbiano 1989). Extensively studied by ASCA, XMM-Newton and Chandra (Makishima et al. 2000, Swartz et al. 2004, Stobbart et al. 2006) • Promising candidate for intermediate-mass black holes. • Key to understand spectral states of black holes. Study of spectral change is important • Nearby face-on Sb galaxy at D=3.7Mpc (Tully 1988) • Hosts three X-ray luminous sources • X-1 and X-2 have been extensively studied in X-rays (in 1993 and 1995 by ASCA, more than 15 times by XMM and 8 times by Chandra.
