X-ray properties of TDEs

R Saxton, S Komossa, K Auchettl, PG Jonker - Space Science Reviews, 2020 - Springer
Observational astronomy of tidal disruption events (TDEs) began with the detection of X-ray
flares from quiescent galaxies during the ROSAT all-sky survey of 1990–1991. The flares …

Nine-hour X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from a low-mass black hole galactic nucleus

G Miniutti, RD Saxton, M Giustini, KD Alexander… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
In the past two decades, high-amplitude electromagnetic outbursts have been detected from
dormant galaxies and often attributed to the tidal disruption of a star by the central black …

The destruction and recreation of the X-ray corona in a changing-look active galactic nucleus

C Ricci, E Kara, M Loewenstein… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the drastic transformation of the X-ray properties of the active galactic nucleus
(AGN) 1ES 1927+ 654, following a changing-look event. After the optical/ultraviolet outburst …

EMRI+ TDE= QPE: periodic X-ray flares from star–disk collisions in galactic nuclei

I Linial, BD Metzger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Roughly half of the quasiperiodic eruption (QPE) sources in galactic nuclei exhibit a
remarkably regular alternating" long-short" pattern of recurrence times between consecutive …

Quasi-periodic eruptions from mildly eccentric unstable mass transfer in galactic nuclei

W Lu, E Quataert - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We propose that the recently observed quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei
are produced by unstable mass transfer due to Roche lobe overflow of a low-mass main …

Repeating tidal disruptions in GSN 069: Long-term evolution and constraints on quasi-periodic eruptions' models

G Miniutti, M Giustini, R Arcodia, RD Saxton… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. GSN 069 is the first galactic nucleus where quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) have
been identified in December 2018. These are high-amplitude, soft X-ray bursts recurring …

Interacting stellar EMRIs as sources of quasi-periodic eruptions in galactic nuclei

BD Metzger, NC Stone, S Gilbaum - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
A star that approaches a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on a circular extreme mass ratio
inspiral (EMRI) can undergo Roche lobe overflow (RLOF), resulting in a phase of long-lived …

A self-lensing binary massive black hole interpretation of quasi-periodic eruptions

A Ingram, SE Motta, S Aigrain… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems result from galaxy mergers, and will
eventually coalesce due to gravitational wave (GW) emission if the binary separation can be …

X-Ray Quasi-periodic Eruptions Driven by Star–Disk Collisions: Application to GSN069 and Probing the Spin of Massive Black Holes

J Xian, F Zhang, L Dou, J He… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) were discovered recently in active galaxies with an
unknown driving mechanism. Under the assumption that QPEs are caused by star–disk …
