Accretion Processes in Astrophysics: The State of Art

Frascati Workshop 2023: Concluding Address

“…One of the most interesting outcomes of this intensive study is the fact that accretion processes are, in a sense, self-similar on various spatial scales from planetary systems to galaxies. Figure 4 shows a sketch of cosmic systems where accretion processes occur (Giovannelli & Sabau-Graziati, 2016, after Scaringi, 2015. This fact gives us new opportunities to investigate objects that, by various reasons, are not available for direct study.…”
