SUMMARY

When dust and gases in space are strongly attracted by a powerful gravitational object, such as a black hole or neutron star, they spiral in and are gobbled up by the object. The intense functional heating of these "accretion disks" sends out electromagnetic radiation, enabling scientists to detect them. These electromagnetic "signatures" have much to teach us about the physics of the accreting object.Vishniac, Ethan T. is the author of 'Astrophysical Accretion Disks' with ISBN 9780738201238 and ISBN 0738201235.
