Some Recent Developments in Accretion Disk Theory
Abstract
The most important physical aspects of accretion disks are discussed. Basic disk theory is summarized, and the factors that determine the characteristics of the vertical structure, relaxation oscillations, outbursts, and transition fronts are briefly presented.
