Several chapters cover the underlying physics of viscosity in astrophysical discs with some important aspects of turbulent viscosity generation. The book is aimed at specialists as well as graduate students interested in the field of theoretical astrophysics....

An observational review is provided of the properties of accretion disks around young stars. It concerns the primordial disks of intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects in embedded and optically revealed phases. The properties were derived from spatially resolved observations and, therefore, p...

<italic>Context. </italic>Radiation from accretion discs in cataclysmicvariable stars (CVs) provides fundamental information about the properties of these close binary systems and about the physicsof accretion in general. Of particular interest are dwarf
We develop a model of thin turbulent accretion discs supported by magnetic pressure of turbulent magnetic fields. This applies when the turbulent kinetic and magnetic energy densities are greater than the thermal energy density in the disc. Whether such discs survive in nature or not remains to be...

In accretion discs, the interior edge of the disc corresponds to ISCO, and the efficiency of the energy emitted is a representation of how well rest-mass energy is converted into radiative energy [7], which may be calculated using these radii. The maximum or minimum of the effective potential...
