Repeated Partial Tidal Disruptions and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in SwJ023017.0+283603
Dheeraj Pasham, Eric Coughlin, Chris Nixon +5
SwJ023017.0+283603 (SwJ0230) exhibited soft X-ray (0.3-1.0 keV) eruptions recurring roughly every 22 days. We present results from an extended monitoring campaign of SwJ0230 using…
Repeating transients in galactic nuclei: confronting observations with theory
Petra Suková, Francesco Tombesi, Dheeraj R. Pasham +5
In the last few years, a mysterious new class of astrophysical objects has been uncovered. These are spatially coincident with the nuclei of external galaxies and show X-ray variat…
Alive and Strongly Kicking: Stable X-ray Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from eRO-QPE2 over 3.5 Years
Dheeraj Pasham, Shubham Kejriwal, Eric Coughlin +5
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of soft X-rays from the nuclei of galaxies. Their physical origin is currently a subject of debate, with models typically invok…
A Potential Second Shutoff from AT2018fyk: An updated Orbital Ephemeris of the Surviving Star under the Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Paradigm
Dheeraj Pasham, Eric Coughlin, Muryel Guolo +4
The tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018dyk/ASASSN-18UL showed a rapid dimming event 500 days after discovery, followed by a re-brightening roughly 700 days later. It has been hypot…
Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions and tidal disruption events prefer similar host galaxies
T. Wevers, K. D. French, A. I. Zabludoff +10
In the past five years, six quasi-periodic X-ray eruption (QPE) sources have been discovered in the nuclei of nearby galaxies. Their origin remains an open question. We present MUS…
A Case for a Binary Black Hole System Revealed via Quasi-Periodic Outflows
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova +33
Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely chall…
