Radiation Transport Simulations of Quasiperiodic Eruptions from Star–Disk Collisions

Periodic collisions between a star on an inclined orbit around a supermassive black hole and its accretion disk offer a promising explanation for X-ray “quasiperiodic eruptions” (QPEs). Each passage through the disk midplane shocks and compresses gas ahead of the star, which subsequently re-expands...
