Possible X-ray Quasi-Periodic Eruptions in a Tidal Disruption Event Candidate
Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Megan Masterson +3
X-ray Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are a recently discovered phenomenon associated with supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. They are high amplitude soft X-ray f…
Host Galaxy Line Diagnostics for the Candidate Tidal Disruption Events XMMSL1 J111527.3+180638 and PTF09axc
Anne Inkenhaag, Peter G. Jonker, Giacomo Cannizzaro +2
We present results of our analysis of spectra of the host galaxies of the candidate Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) XMMSL1 J111527.3+180638 and PTF09axc to determine the nature of t…
The RapidXMM Upper Limit Server: X-ray aperture photometry of the XMM-Newton archival observations
A. Ruiz, A. Georgakakis, S. Gerakakis +4
This paper presents the construction of the RapidXMM database that is available through the XMM-Newton Science Archive and offers access to upper limits and aperture photometry acr…
Time Domain Astronomy with the THESEUS Satellite
S. Mereghetti, S. Balman, M. Caballero-Garcia +74
THESEUS is a medium size space mission of the European Space Agency, currently under evaluation for a possible launch in 2032. Its main objectives are to investigate the early Univ…
X-ray properties of TDEs
R. Saxton, S. Komossa, K. Auchettl +1
Observational astronomy of tidal disruption events (TDEs) began with the detection of X-ray flares from quiescent galaxies during the ROSAT all-sky survey of 1990-1991. The flares…
Accuracy of the recovered flux of extended sources obscured by bad pixels in the central EPIC FOV
J. Nevalainen, I. Valtchahov, R. D. Saxton +1
A fraction of the XMM-Newton/EPIC FOV is obscured by the dysfunctional (i.e. bad) pixels. The fraction varies between different EPIC instruments in a given observation. These compl…
