X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) represent a recently discovered example of extreme X-ray variability associated with supermassive black holes. These are high-amplitude bursts recurring every few hours that are detected in the soft…

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurrent X-ray bursts found so far in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. Their trigger mechanism is still unknown, but recent models involving one or two stellar-mass companions around the central massive…

We propose that the recently observed quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei are produced by unstable mass transfer due to Roche lobe overflow of a low-mass main-sequence star in a mildly eccentric (e ~ 0.5) orbit. We argue that…
