White dwarfs inspiralling into black holes of mass   M  BH ≳ 10 5   M ⊙   are detectable sources of gravitational waves in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) band. In many of these events, the white dwarf begins to lose mass during the main observational phase of the inspiral. The mass‐loss starts gently and can last for thousands of orbits. The white dwarf matter overflows the Roche lobe through the   L  1   point at each pericentre passage and the mass‐loss repeats periodically. The process occurs very close to the black hole and the released gas can accrete, creating a bright source of radiation with luminosity close to the Eddington limit,   L ∼ 10 43  erg s −1  . This class of inspirals offers a promising scenario for dual detections of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation.
