A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf

Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97

Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…

Multiwavelength Observations of the Apparently Non-repeating FRB 20250316A

Ye Li, Hui Sun, Lei Qian +72

The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with…

Einstein Probe Discovery of EP J182730.0-095633: A New Black Hole X-ray Binary Candidate in Faint Outburst?

Huaqing Cheng, Qingchang Zhao, L. Tao +77

Black hole X-ray binaries (candidates) currently identified in our galaxy are mainly transient sources, with the majority discovered through the detection of their X-ray outbursts.…

A new Bowen Fluorescence Flare and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter discovered by SRG/eROSITA

Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Riccardo Arcodia +19

The nuclear transient eRASSt J012026.5-292727 (J012026 hereafter) was discovered in the second SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey (eRASS2). The source appeared more than one order of magni…

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…
