Multiwavelength Study of a Hyperluminous X-Ray Source near NGC 6099: A Strong IMBH Candidate
We report on the intriguing properties of a variable X-ray source projected at the outskirts of the elliptical galaxy NGC 6099 ( d ≈ 139 Mpc). If truly located near NGC 6099, this is a hyperluminous X-ray source that reached an X-ray luminosity L _X ≈ a few times 10 ^42 erg s ^−1 in 2012 February...
