Stellar Accretion

Stellar Accretion is a physical process in astrophysics wherein matter, primarily gas and dust from an orbiting accretion disk, gravitationally collapses onto a forming or evolving star, distinguishing it from other accretion phenomena by its central role in stellar mass growth and energy release during star formation.
