Accretion (astrophysics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astrophysics, the term accretion is used for at least two distinct processes. The first and most common is the growth of a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter, typically gase...

Steps in the accretion process: ... The asteroid belt represents a relic of the accretion process. A planet tried to form in that location but the gravitational influence of the large mass planet Jupiter was sufficient to accelerate the material there to high velocity.

Lumps of material that collect in the outer regions of the disk by accretion will grow into planetesimals. ... Planetesimals were created through the process of ... What is the process of accretion?

There are two different definitions for accretion:・ (1) When a massive matter attracts more gaseous matter into its accretion disc. The discs are common ... ・ (2) Planetary accretion is when microscopic dust and ice particles collide, stick...

By considering the constraints imposed by typical accretion-disk conditions, I conclude that r-process elements are unlikely to have been made this way, largely because the total production is too low, by a factor of 105, to explain the observed abundances.

The novae included in Table 4, except RR Tel and partially GK Per, were observed in X-rays at quiescence because of accretion. However, only 11 out of 81 quiescent Galactic novae observed in the pointed observations were detected.

% The consequences are, e.g., secular mass erosion, spin-up due to angular momentum accretion, an inhomogeneous temperature distribution over the white dwarf surface, short-term heating and cooling of the white dwarf envelope in response to changes in the accretion rate, retarded core cooling compared to non-accreting...
