Abstract

We present the results of our analysis of the series of X-ray observations, photometric and
spectroscopic monitoring for the ultraluminous X-ray source VII Zw 403 ULX (UGC 6456 ULX). Based
on a number of indirect signs, we hypothesize that the accretor in this binary system is a neutron star. We
have estimated the mass outflow rate in the object’s active state within the supercritical disk wind model to
be ≈4.0 × 10−5 M  yr−1.
