Quasi-Periodic Eruptions Near Black Holes: What NASA’s NICER Mission Uncovered

Quasi-periodic eruptions are recurring bursts of X-ray energy emanating from regions near supermassive black holes. Unlike one-time events such as supernovae, QPEs repeat on a regular or semi-regular basis.

Introduction: The Mystery of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions Black holes have long captivated scientists and space enthusiasts alike. But now, thanks to NASA’s NICER mission and its collaborators, we’re closer than ever to understanding a rare and mysterious phenomenon: quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs). These powerful, rhythmic X-ray outbursts near supermassive black holes may unlock insights into how matter … Read more
