On the availability of new calibration data related to the additional distortion introduced by the grism filters the distortion correction will be improved. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2008-10-22

... Though Flint knows the interface definitions (i.e. number, type and intent of each argument) of standard FORTRAN functions, it is desirable for users to build and use a file (or files) describing the interfaces to their own library. ... The format is: flint -o file .. ... While these interface definitions could be input along with normal source files, preceding the interface file with the -l (library) switch has the advantage that the source of this file does not appear in the listing file. ...

... Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are located in external galaxies, their X-ray luminosities (10 39 - 10 41 erg/s) are thousand times greater than those of brightest black holes in the Galaxy. ULXs may be supercritical accretion disks around black holes of stellar masses (~10 Solar masses) like that in SS433, or they may be a hypothetical intermediate-mass black holes (hundreds - thousands Solar masses) with standard accretion disks. ... 2) The ULX progenitors were ejected from the star clusters. ...
