Accretion Disks — New Aspects Proceedings of the EARA Workshop Held in Garching, Germany, 21–23 October 1996
The most luminous compact objects are powered by accretion of mass. Accretion disks are the one common and fundamental element of these sources on widely different scales, ranging from close stellar binaries, galactic black holes and X-ray pulsars to active galactic nuclei (AGN). Key new development...
