We present results of new XMM-Newton observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5408 X-1, one of the few ULXs to show quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO). We detect QPOs in each of four new (~ 100 ks) pointings, expanding the…
We report the discovery with XMM-Newton of correlated spectral and timing behavior in the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5408 X-1. An ~100 ksec pointing with XMM/Newton obtained in January, 2008 reveals a strong 10 mHz QPO in the > 1…
We report the discovery of a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) at 642 mHz in an {\it XMM-Newton} observation of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) IC 342 X-1. The QPO has a centroid at $\nu_{QPO} = 642 \pm 20$ mHz, a coherence factor of $…
The ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX), NGC 5408 X-1, is one of only 3 such objects to show a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in its power spectrum. Previous analysis of this signal identified it with the well-studied type C low-frequency…

Using all the archival XMM-Newton X-ray (3-10 keV) observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M82 X-1 we searched for a correlation between its variable mHz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequency and its hardness ratio (5-10…
We report the discovery with the EPIC CCD cameras onboard XMM-Newton of a 54 mHz quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) in the > 2 keV X-ray flux from an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the starburst galaxy M82. This is the first detection of…
Millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) observed in neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs) are generally explained as marginally stable thermonuclear burning on the neutron star surface. We report the discovery of mHz…
