                            <p>In this study, the results of temporal and spectral analyzes of transient ultra-luminous sources ULX-4 and X-7 in the galaxies M51 and NGC 1316 using {\it Chandra}, {\it XMM-Newton} and {\it Swift-XRT} observations are presented. In this study, for the first time X-7 was determined as ULX source using 2019 {\it Chandra} observations. Another important part of this study is M51 ULX-4 which showed long-term X-ray flux variability (factor of $\sim$200) over the 20-year. The bimodal X-ray flux distribution of the source determined in this long period is similar to the distribution observed in pulsar ULXs. One of ULX-4 counterparts exhibited a low-amplitude optical periodicity of 264 days. For this periodicity, two important scenarios are presented for the nature of the compact object.</p></trans-abstract>

Bir X-ışın kaynağı olan X7’nin, ilk defa bu çalışmada 2019 {\it Chandra} gözlemleri kullanılarak bir ULX olduğu belirlendi. İncelenen diğer kaynak M51 ULX-4’ün, 20 yıllık dönemde X-ışın akısı ise $\sim$200 kat değişkenlik göstermektedir. Kaynağın bu uzun dönemde belirlenen çift modlu X-ışın akı dağılımı, pulsar içeren ULX’lerde gözlenen dağılıma benzerlik göstermektedir. ULX-4’ün belirlediğimiz bir optik karşılığında 264 günlük periyodik optik değişkenlik gözlenmiştir. Bu değişkenliğin nedeni olarak tıkız (compact) nesnenin doğası için iki önemli senaryo sunulmuştur.</p></abstract>
