Extended Data Fig. 2: Estimates of the peak times of each eruption.
From: Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions years after a nearby tidal disruption event
Each peak has been fit separately with a skewed Gaussian function using SciPy. This takes four parameters: the mean μ of the unskewed Gaussian, the standard deviation σ, the skewness a and an arbitrary normalization. We take the maximum of the function as the time of each peak. The uncertainty in timing is given by the variance in μ. The error bars show the 1σ uncertainty in count rate.
