Description

We present the results of an archival XMM-Newton study of the bright X-ray point sources (LX>10^38^ergs/s) in 32 nearby galaxies. From our list of approximately 100 point sources, we attempt to determine if there is a low-state counterpart to the ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) population, searching for a soft-hard state dichotomy similar to that known for Galactic X-ray binaries and testing the specific predictions of the intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) hypothesis. To this end, we searched for low-state objects, which we defined as objects within our sample that had a spectrum well fitted by a simple absorbed power law, and high-state objects, which we defined as objects better fitted by a combined blackbody and a power law.
