摘要
The nature of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources - X-ray sources which exceed the Eddington luminosity for a similar to 10 M circle dot black hole - remains a mystery. One possible explanation is an inhomogeneous accretion disk around a solar mass black hole where photon transport through radiation-pressure dominated "photon bubbles" can lead to super-Eddington accretion. While previous studies of this model have focused primarily on its radiation-hydrodynamics aspects, here we explore some observational implications of such a model with a Monte Carlo-Fokker Planck radiation transport code.
