Ultraluminous X-ray source

In astronomy and astrophysics, an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) is less luminous than an active galactic nucleus but more consistently luminous than any known stellar process (over 10 erg/s, or 10 watts), assuming that it radiates isotropically (the same in all directions).
