Quasiperiodic eruptions (QPEs) are intense, repeating, soft x-ray bursts with recurrence times of about a few to ten hours from nearby galactic nuclei. The origin of QPEs is still unclear. In this work, we investigate the extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) + accretion disk model, where the disk is formed from a previous tidal disruption event (TDE).
