  Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes close to a massive
black hole, so that the tidal forces of the black hole exceed the binding
energy of a star and cause it to be ripped apart. Part of the matter will fall
onto the black hole, causing a strong increase in the luminosity. Such events
are often seen in the optical or the X-ray (or both) or even at other
wavelengths such as in the radio, where the diversity of observed emission is
still poorly understood. The XMM-Newton catalogue of approximately a million
X-ray detections covering 1283$^2$ degrees of sky contains a number of these
events. Here I will show the diverse nature of a number of TDEs discovered in
the catalogue and discuss their relationship with quasi periodic eruptions.
