Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions years after a nearby tidal disruption event
M. Nicholl, D. R. Pasham, A. Mummery +61
Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays from the nuclei of galaxies, repeating on timescales of hours to weeks. The mechanism behind these rare systems i…
A NICER View of the Nearest and Brightest Millisecond Pulsar: PSR J0437$\unicode{x2013}$4715
Devarshi Choudhury, Tuomo Salmi, Serena Vinciguerra +17
We report Bayesian inference of the mass, radius and hot X-ray emitting region properties - using data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) - for the brighte…
A Case for a Binary Black Hole System Revealed via Quasi-Periodic Outflows
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova +33
Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely chall…
Testing EMRI models for Quasi-Periodic Eruptions with 3.5 years of monitoring eRO-QPE1
Joheen Chakraborty, Riccardo Arcodia, Erin Kara +13
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous X-ray outbursts recurring on hour timescales, observed from the nuclei of a growing handful of nearby low-mass galaxies. Their physical…
Highly-coherent quasi-periodic oscillations in the 'heartbeat' black hole X-ray binary IGR J17091-3624
Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Jeroen Homan +13
IGR J17091-3624 is a black hole X-ray binary (BHXB), often referred to as the 'twin' of GRS 1915+105 because it is the only other known BHXB that can show exotic 'heartbeat'-like v…
The 2022 Outburst of IGR J17091-3624: Connecting the exotic GRS 1915+105 to standard black hole X-ray binaries
Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Javier A. García +13
While the standard X-ray variability of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) is stochastic and noisy, there are two known BHXBs that exhibit exotic `heartbeat'-like variability in the…
Evidence for a dynamic corona in the short-term time lags of black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
Niek Bollemeijer, Phil Uttley, Arkadip Basak +19
In X-ray observations of hard state black hole X-ray binaries, rapid variations in accretion disc and coronal power-law emission are correlated and show Fourier-frequency-dependent…
X-ray eruptions every 22 days from the nucleus of a nearby galaxy

Galactic nuclei showing recurrent phases of activity and quiescence have recently been discovered, with recurrence times as short as a few hours to a day -- known as quasi-periodic…
A Remarkably Loud Quasi-Periodicity after a Star is Disrupted by a Massive Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Ronald A. Remillard, P. Chris Fragile +9
The immense tidal forces of massive black holes can rip apart stars that come too close to them. As the resulting stellar debris spirals inwards, it heats up and emits x-rays when…
