Radiation Transport Simulations of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from Star-Disk Collisions
Indrek Vurm, Itai Linial, Brian D. Metzger
Periodic collisions between a star on an inclined orbit around a supermassive black hole and its accretion disk offers a promising explanation for X-ray "quasi-periodic eruptions"…
Coupled Disk-Star Evolution in Galactic Nuclei and the Lifetimes of QPE Sources
Itai Linial, Brian D. Metzger
A modest fraction of the stars in galactic nuclei fed towards the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) approach on low-eccentricity orbits driven by gravitational-wave radiation…
Alive but Barely Kicking: News from 3+ years of Swift and XMM-Newton X-ray Monitoring of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from eRO-QPE1
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric R. Coughlin, Michal Zajacek +11
Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel class of extragalactic X-ray transients that are known to repeat at roughly regular intervals of a few hours to days. Their underl…
Period Evolution of Repeating Transients in Galactic Nuclei
Itai Linial, Eliot Quataert
Wide-field survery have recently detected recurring optical and X-ray sources near galactic nuclei, with period spanning hours to years. These phenomena could result from repeated…
Stellar Collisions in the Galactic Center: Massive Stars, Collision Remnants, and Missing Red Giants
Sanaea C. Rose, Smadar Naoz, Re'em Sari +1
Like most galaxies, the Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its center, surrounded by a nuclear star cluster. In this dense star cluster, direct collisions can oc…
Stellar Distributions Around a Supermassive Black Hole: Strong Segregation Regime Revisited
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
We present a new analytical solution to the steady-state distribution of stars close to a central supermassive black hole of mass in the center of a galaxy. Assuming…
