Discovery of Quasiperiodic Eruptions in the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT2022upj: Implications for the QPE/TDE Fraction and a Connection to ECLEs

Discovery of Quasiperiodic Eruptions in the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT2022upj: Implications for the QPE/TDE Fraction and a Connection to ECLEs

Quasiperiodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients emerging from the vicinity of supermassive black holes in nearby, low-mass galaxy nuclei; about 10 QPE hosts have been identified thus far. Here we report the NICER discovery of QPEs in the optically selected tidal disruption event (...
