The X-ray-Weak Tail of the Quasar Population: Physical Properties and Redshift Evolution of Variability-Selected AGN in eFEDS
P. Arévalo, J. Buchner, M. Salvato +10
The paper examines AGN identified through optical variability in the eROSITA eFEDS survey, comparing those detected in X‑rays to those that are not, and finds that a substantial hi…
Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event
P. Sánchez-Sáez, M. Masterson, L. Hernández-GarcÃa +25
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728 brightened abruptly in December 2019 (the Ansky event) and has since been confirmed as the host of extreme X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) of debated…
Evidence for a Delayed UV Counterpart to X-ray Quasi-periodic Eruptions in Ansky
Hengxiao Guo, Zhen Yan, Ya-Ping Li +15
X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel population of extreme, repeating nuclear transients whose physical origins remain debated. A defining characteristic of QPEs…
NICER observations reveal doubled timescales in Ansky's quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs)
L. Hernández-GarcÃa, P. Sánchez-Sáez, J. Chakraborty +11
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring X-ray bursts originating from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, but their driving mechanisms remain under debate. This study a…
