PDF-(EBOOK)-Accretion Power in Astrophysics

This newly expanded and thoroughly updated third edition examines accretion as a source of energy in both binary star systems containing compact objects and in active galactic nuclei Assuming a basic knowledge of physics the authors describe the physical processes at work in accretion discs and other accretion flows New material includes a detailed treatment of disc instabilities irradiated discs disc warping and general accretion flows The treatment is suitable for advanced undergraduates graduate students and researchers.
