Ultraviolet Quasiperiodic Eruptions from Star–Disk Collisions in Galactic Nuclei

“Quasiperiodic eruptions” (QPE) are recurrent nuclear transients with periods of several hours to almost a day, which thus far have been detected exclusively in the X-ray band. We have shown that many of the key properties of QPE flares (period, luminosity, duration, emission temperature, alternatin...
