The ultraluminous X-ray source M81 X-6: a weakly magnetised neutron star with a precessing accretion disc?

We investigate the nature of the ULX M81 X-6, which has been suggested to harbour a neutron star (NS), by studying its long-term X-ray spectral and temporal evolution, using the rich set of available archival data from XMM-Newton, Chandra, NuSTAR, and Swift/XRT. We tracked the evolution of the sourc...
