ABSTRACT
NGC 5907 ULX-1 is the most luminous of the 3 ULXs known to be accreting pulsars. At 17.1 Mpc, its X-ray isotropic luminosity peaks at 1e41 erg/s, 500 times the Eddington limit for a NS. Understanding the physics of this extreme object, for a long time prototypical of IMBHs, which defeats simple theoretical explanations, is interesting per se and essential for population studies and searches for pulsation in other ULXs. The most effective strategy is to repeatedly observe it with XMM and NuSTAR with a carefully devised schedule. Their synergy will provide us also with orbital- and spin-phase-resolved broad-band X-ray spectroscopy, essential for a better understanding of this object, in the context of other extreme ULXs.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
