摘要：Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays from the nuclei of galaxies, repeating on timescales of hours to weeks(1-5). The mechanism behind these rare systems is uncertain, but most theories involve accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) undergoing instabilities(6-8) or interacting with a stellar object in a close orbit(9-11). It has been suggested that this disk could be created when the SMBH disrupts a passing star(8,11), implying that many QPEs shou...
