Properties of the GSN 069 Accretion Disk from a Joint X-Ray and UV Spectral Analysis: Stress-testing Quasi-periodic Eruption Models by M. Guolo, A. Mummery, T. Wevers, M. Nicholl, S. Gezari, A. Ingram, D. R. Pasham

“…The implications for QPE models are (i) that no published disk-instability model can explain the disk’s stability in 2014 (no QPEs) and its instability in 2018 (QPEs present), and (ii) while the disk size in 2018 allows for orbiter–disk interactions to produce QPEs, in 2014 the disk was already sufficiently extended, yet no QPEs were present. These findings pose challenges to existing QPE models.…”
