SRG/eROSITA No. 5: Discovery of quasi-periodic eruptions every ~3.7 days from a galaxy at z>0.1

R. Arcodia, P. Baldini, A. Merloni +17

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are repeating soft X-ray bursts from the nuclei of galaxies, tantalizingly proposed to be extreme mass ratio inspirals. Here, we report the discover…

A systematic analysis of the radio properties of 22 X-ray selected tidal disruption event candidates with the Australia Telescope Compact Array

A. J. Goodwin, M. Burn, G. E. Anderson +7

We present a systematic analysis of the radio properties of an X-ray selected sample of tidal disruption event (TDE) candidates discovered by the eROSITA telescope. We find radio s…

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…

An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Lurking in A Galactic Halo Caught Alive during Outburst

C. -C. Jin, D. -Y. Li, N. Jiang +137

Stellar-mass and supermassive black holes abound in the Universe, whereas intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of ~10^2-10^5 solar masses in between are largely missing observatio…

eRO-ExTra: eROSITA extragalactic non-AGN X-ray transients and variables in eRASS1 and eRASS2

Iuliia Grotova, Arne Rau, Mara Salvato +19

(Abridged) While previous X-ray studies showed the dominance of regular active galactic nuclei (AGN) variability, a small fraction of sources arise from more exotic phenomena such…
