Quasi-periodic eruption spectral-timing: EMRIs crossing warped accretion disks

Joheen Chakraborty, Andrew Mummery, Eliot Quataert +3

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are repeating X-ray transients from galactic nuclei potentially caused by a stellar-mass orbiter repeatedly colliding with the accretion disk of a s…

Relativistic outflows power a quasi-periodic eruption: constraints on energetics, mass loss, and emission mechanisms

Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Wenbin Lu +17

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of X-ray radiation originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). They are an unprecedented type of structured, high-amplit…

Star-Disk Collisions II: Debris Stream Dynamics and Implications for QPEs and Other Transients Near SMBHs

Philippe Z. Yao, Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang +1

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are repeating soft X-ray nuclear transients with recurrence times of hours-days and flare duty cycles of 10-20%. Many aspects of QPEs can be m…

Delayed Radio Flares in Tidal Disruption Events from Star-Disk Collision Outflows

Itai Linial, Brian D. Metzger, Andrei M. Beloborodov

A growing fraction of tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit radio emission that rises only years after the optical or infrared flare, indicating delayed outflow activity. In some…

Even a precessing clock is right twice per orbit -- The super-periods of eRO-QPE2 and challenges for quasi-periodic eruption orbital models

R. Arcodia, G. Miniutti, J. Chakraborty +25

We present OC (``observed minus calculated'') timing analysis of the quasi-periodic eruption (QPE) source eRO-QPE2 with a multi-mission X-ray campaign, which includes 32 observe…

A positive period derivative in the quasi-periodic eruptions of ZTF19acnskyy

Joheen Chakraborty, Saul A. Rappaport, Riccardo Arcodia +9

We report the first direct measurement of the period derivative in a quasi-periodic eruption (QPE), finding a smoothly increasing period with $\dot{P}\approx (1.7\pm 0.02)\times10^…
