Abstract A model for QSOs and the nuclei of Seyfert Galaxies is proposed in which mass lost from stars in a galactic nucleus repeatedly builds to a critical density and then collapses to the center where it accretes onto a massive black hole (≈108 M ⊙), emitting great luminosity. This model describes a means of starting with an ordinary nucleus and developing conditions found in QSOs. By invoking intermittent flashes we overcome a difficulty previously encountered in similar models in which plausible sources of mass in reasonable galactic nuclei fail by a factor of ≈10−2 in fueling a black hole at QSO luminosities.
