Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs

Zhewei Chen, Hao Zhu, Jiaojiao Jiang +1

GNN-to-MLP distillation aims to retain the predictive accuracy of a message-passing teacher while deploying a graph-free MLP at inference. Existing methods mainly transfer node-wis…

Relativistic outflows power a quasi-periodic eruption: constraints on energetics, mass loss, and emission mechanisms

Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Wenbin Lu +17

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of X-ray radiation originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). They are an unprecedented type of structured, high-amplit…

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-García +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…

X-ray eclipse tomography: Resolving the extent of X-ray-emitting region(s) in the Seyfert galaxy ESO362-G18

Laura Rueda-Nieto, Beatriz Agís-González, Giovanni Miniutti

X-ray spectral variability in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be either intrinsic or caused by external processes, such as variable absorption. Several transient occultation even…

QPEs from Warped Disk Collisions with EMRIs: Brightness-Recurrence Diagram and Gravitational-Wave Follow-up

Bo-An Chen, Bei You, Giovanni Miniutti +11

Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) display correlated long/short and strong/weak patterns that remain unexplained by existing flat-disk collision models. We propose that these feature…

Persistence of the Millihertz X-ray Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654

Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, William N. Alston +15

1ES 1927+654 is an extreme active galactic nucleus (AGN) that has defied our canonical expectations for how AGN appear across the electromagnetic spectrum and how they vary on shor…
