NICER observations reveal doubled timescales in Ansky's quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs)
L. Hernández-García, P. Sánchez-Sáez, J. Chakraborty +11
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring X-ray bursts originating from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, but their driving mechanisms remain under debate. This study a…
Prospects for EMRI/MBH parameter estimation using Quasi-Periodic Eruption timings: short-timescale analysis
Joheen Chakraborty, Lisa V. Drummond, Matteo Bonetti +11
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring X-ray outbursts from galactic nuclei, with timescales of hours to days. While their origin remains uncertain, leading models…
Long term variability of Cygnus X-1. IX. A spectral-timing comparison of Cygnus X-1 and MAXI J1820+070 in the hard state
Arkadip Basak, Phil Uttley, Niek Bollemeijer +11
Cygnus X-1 is a persistent, high-mass black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) which in the hard state shows many similar properties to transient BHXRBs, along with intriguing differences,…
Discovery of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT2022upj: implications for the QPE/TDE fraction and a connection to ECLEs
Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Riccardo Arcodia +10
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients emerging from the vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby, low-mass galaxy nuclei; about ten QPE…
Discovery of extreme Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole
Lorena Hernández-García, Joheen Chakraborty, Paula Sánchez-Sáez +27
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are rapid, recurring X-ray bursts from supermassive black holes, believed to result from interactions between accretion disks and surrounding matter…
Rapidly varying ionization features in a Quasi-periodic Eruption: a homologous expansion model for the spectroscopic evolution
Joheen Chakraborty, Peter Kosec, Erin Kara +9
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of soft X-ray emission from supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which a growing class of models explains via extreme mass-ratio i…
Supermassive Black Holes in X-rays: From Standard Accretion to Extreme Transients
Erin Kara, Javier García
X-rays are a critical wavelength for understanding supermassive black holes (SMBHs). X-rays probe the inner accretion flow, closest to the event horizon, where gas inspirals, relea…
Millihertz Oscillations Near the Innermost Orbit of a Supermassive Black Hole
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou +22
Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repet…
