• THE EFFECT OF STARBURST METALLICITY ON BRIGHT X-RAY BINARY FORMATION PATHWAYS (2010, background): “However, Zezas et al. (2002) found a moderate displacement between ULX sources and young stellar clusters in the Antennae galax- 2 ies, suggesting that the ULX population received a natal kick, indicating that these systems either did not undergo direct collapse, or that direct collapse events are…”
• On the formation and evolution of black hole binaries (2002, background): “Indeed there is some evidence that many ULXs are found in regions of active star formation, starburst galaxies and interacting galaxies (Lira et al. 2002; Roberts et al. 2002; Terashima & Wilson 2002; Zezas et al. 2002).”
• The Runaway Growth of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Dense Star Clusters (2002, background): “Most remarkable, however, is the discovery of many bright X-ray sources in the ‘‘ Antennae ’’ system (NGC 4038/4039) by Fabbiano, Zezas, & Murray (2001), Zezas & Fabbiano (2002), and Zezas et al. (2002), also using Chandra.”
• The Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Population from the Chandra Archive of Galaxies (2004, background): “This result was anticipated by the large numbers of ULXs in some FIR-bright galaxies (e.g., NGC 4038/4039, Zezas et al. 2002; NGC 3256 Lira et al. 2002; NGC 4485/4490, Roberts et al. 2002) and for a small sample of galaxies by Grimm, Gilfanov, & Sunyaev (2003).”
• Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the Chandra and XMM-Newton era (2011, background): “These include M101 ULX1 (Pence et al. 2001; Kong & Di Stefano 2005; Mukai et al. 2005), Antennae X-13 (Fabbiano et al. 2003), M81 ULS1 (Swartz et al. 2002; Liu 2008), NGC 4631 X1 (Carpano et al. 2007; Soria & Ghosh 2009), and NGC 247 ULX (Jin et al. 2011).”
• Young Massive Star Clusters (2010, background): “The majority of x-ray point sources in external galaxies appear to be associated with young star clusters, as is the case for example in the Antennae system (NGC4038/39) Zezas et al. (2002).”
• Populations of X-Ray Sources in Galaxies (2006, background): “…system has been subject to a supernova formation kick to eject it from its birthplace (thus implying a normal HMXB with a stellar mass black hole; Zezas et al. 2002b; Sepinsky, Kalogera & Belczynski 2005), or that the parent cluster has evaporated, in the core collapse model of IMBH formation…”
• Intermediate - mass black holes (2003, methodology): “Zezas et al. (2002) find eight ULXs possibly associated with 18 young stellar clusters, where “associated” means separated by less than 2”.”
• XMM–Newton observations of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources (2006, background): “Conversely,Chandra spectra of the Antennae ULXs (Zezas et al. 2002a; Zezas et al. 2002b) revealed an accretion disc (MCD) component consistent with the high temperatureASCA results (i.e., kTin∼1 keV), together with a hard power-law component (Γ∼1.2).”
