Zoom on the features of the XMM-Newton lightcurve of J2344: A crest of narrow flares can be distinctively observed over the broader modulations (the QPEs)
🌀 Supermassive black hole heartbeat with mini-flares!
eRASSt J2344 shows quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions every 12 hours plus unprecedented short, hot mini-flares – challenging models near supermassive black holes. Thanks to Einstein Probe + XMM-Newton. Led by MPE/IMPRS PhD student @PietroBaldini.
