Large-amplitude modulations and hours-timescale variability in the early X-ray light curve of a tidal disruption flare
A. Malyali, A. Rau, P. Baldini +11
We present new X-ray, optical, and UV observations of the tidal disruption event candidate eRASSt J234402.9-352640, (hereafter J2344). Between 50 and 60 days after peak optical bri…
Discovery of crested quasi-periodic eruptions following the most luminous SRG/eROSITA tidal disruption event
Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Andrea Merloni +11
We report the discovery of complex flaring activity from the galactic nucleus hosting the five-year-old tidal disruption event eRASSt J234402.9-352640 (J2344). With Einstein Probe…
Multiwavelength study of extreme variability in LEDA 1154204: A changing-look event in a type 1.9 Seyfert
T. Saha, A. Markowitz, D. Homan +16
Context. Multiwavelength studies of transients in actively accreting supermassive black holes have revealed that large-amplitude variability is frequently linked to significant cha…
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 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…
The eROSITA DR1 variability catalogue
Th. Boller, M. Salvato, J. Buchner +14
With its first All-Sky Survey (eRASS1), the extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission has offered an unp…
