We present Hubble Space Telescope images of the He{sc iii} region surrounding the bright X-ray source in the dwarf irregular galaxy Holmberg II. Using {it Chandra}, we find a position for the X-ray source of $alpha=$ 08h 19m 28.98s, $delta=$ +70arcdeg 42arcmin 19.arcsec3 (J2000) with an uncertainty of 0.6$$. We identify a bright, point-like optical counterpart centered in the nebula with the X-ray source. The optical magnitude and color of the counterpart are consistent with a star with spectral type between O4V and B3 Ib at a distance of 3.05 Mpc or reprocessed emission from an X-ray illuminated accretion disk. The nebular He{sc ii} luminosity is $2.7 times 10^{36} rm erg s^{-1}$. The morphology of the He{sc ii}, H$beta$, and [O{sc i}] emission are consistent with being due to X-ray photoionization and are inconsistent with narrow beaming of the X-ray emission. A spectral model consisting of a multicolor disk blackbody with inverse-Compton emission from a hot corona gives a good fit to X-ray spectra obtained with XMM-Newton. Using the fitted X-ray spectrum, we calculate the relation between the He{sc ii} and X-ray luminosity and find that the He{sc ii} flux implies a lower bound on the X-ray luminosity in the range 4 to $6 times 10^{39} rm erg s^{-1}$ if the extrapolation of the X-ray spectrum between 54 eV and 300 eV is accurate. A compact object mass of at least 25 to $40 M_{odot}$ would be required to avoid violating the Eddington limit.
We use XMM-Newton and Swift data to study spectral variability in the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX), Holmberg IX X-1. The source luminosity varies by a factor 3-4, giving rise to corresponding spectral changes which are significant, but subtle, an
We present the first broadband 0.3-25.0 kev X-ray observations of the bright ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) Holmberg II X-1, performed by NuSTAR, XMM-Newton and Suzaku in September 2013. The NuSTAR data provide the first observations of Holmberg II
We report the detection of radio emission coincident with the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in Holmberg II. The radio emission is diffuse and resolved, covering an area ~60 by 40 pc in extent and well-matched to the recently discovered HeII nebula
We present mid-infrared (IR) light curves of the Ultraluminous X-ray Source (ULX) Holmberg II X-1 from observations taken between 2014 January 13 and 2017 January 5 with the textit{Spitzer Space Telescope} at 3.6 and 4.5 $mu$m in the textit{Spitzer}
SBS0335-052E, one of the most metal-poor (Z ~ 3-4% Z$_{odot}$) HeII-emitter starbursts known in the nearby universe, is studied using optical VLT/MUSE spectroscopic and Chandra X-ray observations. We spatially resolved the spectral map of the nebular
