No evidence for a supermassive black hole binary in GSN 069
Yuhe Zeng, Zhen Pan, Bin Liu +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurrent soft X-ray flares from galactic nuclei and provide a new time-domain probe of stellar-mass objects (SMOs) orbiting supermassive black…

Captured are circularized: A relativistic treatment of extreme mass ratio inspirals crossing accretion disks
Yuhe Zeng, Zhen Pan
A small body orbiting around an accreting massive object and periodically crossing its accretion disk is a common configuration in astrophysics. In this work, we investigate the se…

Secular evolution of quasi-periodic eruptions
Cong Zhou, Yuhe Zeng, Zhen Pan
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are intense repeating soft X-ray bursts with recurrence times about a few hours to a few weeks from galactic nuclei. More and more analyses show tha…
