Abstract
The origin of the quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) is possibly mass loss at the periastron of a body moving around the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a high eccentric orbit. Such a tidally stripped star is expected to radiate gravitational wave thereby leading to shrinkage of the periastron distance, and thus will eventually be disrupted by the SMBH in the previous studies. This scenario predicts a gradually increasing mass transfer, contradicting the long term evolution of the observed intensity of the QPEs in GSN 069.In this paper, we first revisited the orbital evolution of the stripped star. Then we suggested a model of a tidal stripped WD moving inside an accretion disk for QPEs in GSN 069.We found the effect of the mass transfer finally dominates the orbital evolution, resulting in the stripped star finally escaping the SMBH rather than being disrupted by it. The drag force by the disk can effectively reduce mass transfer and thus explain the observed long term evolution in the intensity of the QPEs in GSN 069. The disk is likely a fallback disk of the tidal disruption event in GSN 069. Considering the evolution of its accretion rate, the increase in the intensity of the latest eruption can also be explained.
