We posit that accreting compact objects, including stellar mass black holes and neutron stars as well as supermassive black holes, may undergo extended periods of accretion during which the angular momentum of the disk at large scales is…

Accretion is the dominant contribution to the cosmic massive black hole density in the Universe today. Yet, modelling it in cosmological simulations is challenging due to the dynamic range involved, as well as the theoretical uncertainties…

We propose a novel approach to the investigation of how black hole spin influences the behavior of astrophysical accretion. We examine the terminal behavior of general relativistic, multi-transonic, hydrodynamic advective accretion in the…

Accretion onto supermassive black holes (BHs) can launch relativistic jets that inject energy and momentum into their surroundings. Understanding how such feedback shapes large-scale accretion is key to bridging observations from galactic…

By applying the theory of algebraic polynomials and the theory of dynamical systems, we construct the generalized Sturm sequences/chains to investigate the transonic properties of hydrodynamic accretion onto non-rotating astrophysical black…

We discuss the emergent spectra from accreting black holes, considering in particular the case where the accretion is characterized by relativistic bulk motion. We suggest that such accretion is likely to occur in a wide variety of black…

A solid theoretical understanding of how inflowing, accreting plasma around black holes and other compact objects gives rise to outflowing winds and jets is still lacking, despite decades of observations. The fact that similar processes and…

Bondi accretion assumes that there is a sink of mass at the center -- which in case of a black hole (BH) corresponds to the advection of matter across the event horizon. Other stars, such as a neutron star (NS), have surfaces and hence the…

We study the low angular momentum accretion of matter onto Schwarzschild or Kerr black hole using fully relativistic numerical simulations. Our aim is to include the rotation of both the gas and the black hole and the presence of the…
