A comparative XMM-Newton archival data spectral study of the ultraluminous
X-ray source (ULX) M33 X-8 has been performed by using both the standard disk
model and the newly developed slim disk models. The results of this analysis
tend to confirm the hypothesis that M33 X-8 is an X-ray binary with a
stellar-mass black hole accreting at super-Eddington rate.
