A tidal disruption event happens when a star wanders too close to the massive black hole in the center of a galaxy and gets tidally disrupted. The collision and accretion of the stellar debris powers a bright, transient flare. Tidal disruption events provide a unique opportunity to probe quiescent massive black holes and stellar dynamics in centers of distant galaxies, as well as to study the...

X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a recently discovered phenomenon associated with supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. They are high-amplitude soft X-ray flares that recur on timescales of hours, but what causes these flares remains uncertain. In this talk, I will review the history in discovering the QPE phenomenon and its possible origins, especially the difference...
