| contents | Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) have been objects of great interest for the past few decades due to their unusually high luminosities and spectral properties. A few of these sources exhibit super-Eddington luminosities assuming them to be centering around stellar mass objects, even in their hard state. It has been shown via numerical steady state calculations that ULXs in hard state can be interpreted as highly magnetised advective accretion sources around stellar mass black holes. We use general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) framework to simulate highly magnetised advective accretion flows around a black hole and show that such systems can indeed produce high luminosities like ULXs. We also verify that the magnetic fields required for such high emissions is around $10^7$ G, in accordance with previous numerical steady state calculations. We further present power profiles for zero angular momentum observer (ZAMO) frame. These profiles show interesting features which can be interpreted as effects of emission due to the Blandford-Znajek and Blandford-Payne mechanisms. |
