摘要
We consider the accretion of main sequence or slightly evolved stars by a massive Kerr black hole in an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We show that in many cases the stars are stably accreted via Roche lobe overflow over 10(4) - 10(5) yr. If several stars accrete simultaneously, this is sufficient to power typical AGN. Periodic modulations would be rather weak, as each star contributes only a fraction of the luminosity. Long term variability (years) might result from the dynamical instability of mass transfer from one of the stars.
