Book Synopsis Accretion Power in Astrophysics by : J. R. Frank

Download or read book Accretion Power in Astrophysics written by J. R. Frank and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1985-04-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an account of the accretion of matter by massive astronomical objects. It sets out the physics of the accretion process in detail. This is related to observations of the accretion phenomenon in stellar systems and galaxies. The power derived through accretion processes is a dominant source of emission energy in X-ray stars and the cores of active galaxies. This book takes the physics undergraduate to a point at which it is possible to start independent research. It is suitable for graduate courses as well as providing an overview for the professional.
