Accretion disk, a disklike flow of gas, plasma, dust, or particles around any astronomical object in which the material orbiting in the gravitational field of the object loses energy and angular …
How accretion disks form around stars - BBC Sky at Night Magazine
An accretion disk is a flattened, circular or elliptical structure that is formed when material falls towards a strong gravitational force, such as a star or a black hole.
accretion disk, and radiated away, is equal to the mass accretion rate (−M˙ ), multiplied by the total energy per unit mass at the inner disk orbit, (−e0). e0 is the specific binding energy at r0. …
