An XMM-Newton study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) has been performed in a sample of 10 nearby Seyfert galaxies. Eighteen ULX have been found with positional uncertainty of about 4". The large collecting area of XMM-Newton makes the…

Archival XMM-Newton data on the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051, taken in relatively high and low flux states, offer a unique opportunity to explore the complexity of its X-ray spectrum. We find the hard X-ray band to be significantly…
