Accretion Disk Emission

Accretion Disk Emission is a radiative astrophysical phenomenon arising from the release of gravitational potential energy in an accretion disk, wherein matter spiraling toward a compact object emits electromagnetic radiation, predominantly in the X-ray band, due to viscous heating in the disk's inner, high-temperature regions.
