## Abstract Recent models of the formation of ultra‐luminous X‐ray sources (ULXs) predict that they preferentially form in low‐metallicity environments. We look at the metallicity of the nebula surrounding NGC 1313 X‐2, one of the best‐studied ULXs. Simple estimates, based on the extrapolation of t

## Abstract We explore the nature of ultraluminous X‐ray sources through detailed investigations of their spectral shape using some of the highest quality data available in the XMM‐Newton public archives. Phenomenological models allow us to characterise their spectra, while more ‘physically‐motivat
