Breaking the limit: Super-Eddington accretion onto black holes and neutron stars
Abstract
We discuss the phenomenon of super-Eddington accretion onto black holes and neutron stars, which has key cosmological importance. We argue that sensitive broadband X-ray observations, especially above 10 keV, are required to study this process.
