Monthly quasi-periodic eruptions from repeated stellar disruption by a massive black hole

P. A. Evans, C. J. Nixon, S. Campana +12

In recent years, searches of archival X-ray data have revealed galaxies exhibiting nuclear quasi-periodic eruptions with periods of several hours. These are reminiscent of the tida…
