accretion and are
Quasars are believed to be powered by accretion of material into supermassive black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies, making these luminous versions of the general class of objects known as active galaxies.
This means that it is possible that most galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have gone through an active stage ( appearing as a quasar or some other class of active galaxy depending on black hole mass and accretion rate ) and are now quiescent because they lack a supply of matter to feed into their central black holes to generate radiation.
For historic material established text typefaces are frequently chosen according to a scheme of historical genre acquired by a long process of accretion, with considerable overlap between historical periods.
There is mounting evidence that at least some massive protostars are indeed surrounded by accretion disks.
Of these, perhaps the most prominent is the theory of competitive accretion, which suggests that massive protostars are " seeded " by low-mass protostars which compete with other protostars to draw in matter from the entire parent molecular cloud, instead of simply from a small local region.
Other mechanisms that have been suggested at various times for the Moon's origin are that the Moon was spun off from the Earth's molten surface by centrifugal force, that it was formed elsewhere and subsequently, was captured by the Earth's gravitational field, or that the Moon formed at the same time and place as the Earth from the same accretion disk.
During accretion, the settled corals display an increased growth rate, size and density, but after the process is complete, growth rate and density return to levels comparable to natural growth, and are about the same size or slightly smaller.
Accretion discs are an ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysics ; active galactic nuclei, protoplanetary discs, and gamma ray bursts all involve accretion discs.
The most spectacular accretion discs found in nature are those of active galactic nuclei and of quasars, which are believed to be massive black holes at the center of galaxies.

Some of his significant achievements are his discovery, with Douglas Eardley, of a structural instability in orbitting disks of matter, called accretion disks, that form around massive condensed object such as black holes, with
AGN are both compact and persistently extremely luminous ; accretion can potentially give very efficient conversion of potential and kinetic energy to radiation, and a massive black hole has a high Eddington luminosity, so that it can provide the observed high persistent luminosity.
Thus AGN-like characteristics are expected whenever a supply of material for accretion comes within the sphere of influence of the central black hole.
This is visible whenever the accretion disc and its environment are obscured by gas and dust close to the nucleus and then re-emitted (' reprocessing ').
It is debatable whether all such systems are true AGN ( powered by accretion on to a supermassive black hole ).
Microquasars are named after quasars, as they have some common characteristics: strong and variable radio emission, often resolvable as a pair of radio jets, and an accretion disk surrounding a compact object which is either a black hole or a neutron star.
Individual burst energetics are characterized by an integrated flux of 10 < sup > 39 – 40 </ sup > ergs, compared to the steady luminosity which is of the order 10 < sup > 37 </ sup > ergs for accretion onto a neutron star.

These emission lines exhibit strong Doppler broadening, which implies velocities from 500 to 4000 km / s, and are believed to originate near an accretion disc surrounding the central black hole.
The jets are byproducts of accretion: they carry away excessive angular momentum.
In this model ice giants — Uranus and Neptune — are failed cores that began gas accretion too late, when almost all gas had already disappeared.

accretion and belts
These conditions exist in the orogenic belts that result from either two continental tectonic collisions or from subduction zone accretion.

accretion and accreted
This interval is consistent with turbulence in a disk of accreted matter surrounding a black hole — the accretion disk.
In microquasars, the accreted mass comes from a normal star, and the accretion disk is very luminous in the optical and X-ray regions.
Because compact stars have high gravitational fields, the material falls with a high velocity towards the neutron star, usually colliding with other accreted material en route, forming an accretion disk.
Most X-ray bursters have irregular periods, which can be on the order of a few hours to many months, depending on factors such as the masses of the stars, the distance between the two stars, the rate of accretion, and the exact composition of the accreted material.
This is vital for accretion, because the gas can be accreted by the central protostar only if it loses most of its angular momentum, which must be carried away by the small part of the gas drifting outwards.

accretion and around
The standard model for an active galactic nucleus is based upon an accretion disc that forms around a supermassive black hole ( SMBH ) at the core region.
Simulations of the evolution of the Oort cloud from the beginnings of the Solar System to the present suggest that the cloud's mass peaked around 800 million years after formation, as the pace of accretion and collision slowed and depletion began to overtake supply.
The quasar is powered by an accretion disc around the black hole.
The matter accreting onto the black hole is unlikely to fall directly in, but will have some angular momentum around the black hole that will cause the matter to collect in an accretion disc.

The infalling matter, which is usually rich in hydrogen, forms in most cases an accretion disc around the white dwarf.
The expected spectrum of an accretion disc around a supermassive black hole peaks in the optical-ultraviolet waveband ; in addition, a corona of hot material forms above the accretion disc and can inverse-Compton scatter photons up to X-ray energies.
The brightest part of the system is the accretion disk around the compact object.
A black hole can sometimes be detected by the halo of bright gas and dust that forms around it as an accretion disc being pulled in by the black hole's gravity.
However, each part of the accretion disk has a different velocity relative to our line of sight, and the faster the gas is rotating around the black hole, the broader the line will be.
The star formation process naturally results in the appearance of accretion disks around young stellar objects.
With Igor Novikov and Don Page he developed the general relativistic theory of thin accretion disks around black holes, and using this theory he deduced that with a doubling of its mass by such accretion a black hole will be spun up to 0. 998 of the maximum spin allowed by general relativity, but never any farther ; this is probably the maximum black-hole spin allowed in Nature.
