## Abstract Recent models of the formation of ultraβluminous Xβray sources (ULXs) predict that they preferentially form in lowβmetallicity environments. We look at the metallicity of the nebula surrounding NGC 1313 Xβ2, one of the bestβstudied ULXs. Simple estimates, based on the extrapolation of t
## Abstract We explore the nature of ultraluminous Xβray sources through detailed investigations of their spectral shape using some of the highest quality data available in the XMMβNewton public archives. Phenomenological models allow us to characterise their spectra, while more βphysicallyβmotivat
