Accretion discs, jets, and high energy phenomena in astrophysics : Disques d'accrétion, jets et phénomènes de haute énergie en astrophysique : Ecole d'été de physique des Houches, Session LXXVIII, 29 July-23 August 2002 : Nato Advanced Study Institute, Euro Summer School, Ecole thématique du CNRS /

The accretion process is thought to play a key role in the Universe. This book explains, in a form intelligible to graduate students, its relation to the formation of new stars, to the energy release in compact objects and to the formation of black holes. The monograph describes how accretion proces...
