The structure of accreted stellar streams [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT Many of the Milky Way’s globular clusters are likely accreted from satellite galaxies that have long since merged with the Milky Way. When these globular clusters are susceptible to tidal disruption, this process likely starts already inside the parent satellite leading to an early stellar stream within the satellite.

Disk Accretion and the Stellar Birthline [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 We present a simplified analysis of some effects of disk accretion on the early evolution of fully convective, low-mass pre-main-sequence stars. Our analysis builds on the previous seminal work of Stahler, but it differs in that the accretion of material occurs over a small area of the stellar surface, such as through a disk or magnetospheric accretion

COMPETITIVE ACCRETION IN A SHEET GEOMETRY AND THE STELLAR IMF [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We report a set of numerical experiments aimed at addressing the applicability of competitive accretion to explain the high-mass end of the stellar initial mass function in a sheet geometry with shallow gravitational potential, in contrast to most previous simulations which have assumed formation in a cluster gravitational potential.

Accretion from Stellar Winds [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1988 AbstractRecent calculations have demonstrated that accretion from a stellar wind is very probably unsteady. The average rate of accretion of angular momentum is lower by about a factor 5 than the rate at which angular momentum is deposited into the Bondi-Hoyle accretion cylinder.

Accretion of stellar winds onto Sgr A* [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractWe report a 3-dimensional numerical study of the accretion of stellar winds onto Sgr A*, the super-massive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy. Compared with previous investigations, we allow the stars to be on realistic orbits, include the recently discovered slow wind sources, and allow for optically thin radiative cooling.

PROBING STELLAR ACCRETION WITH MID-INFRARED HYDROGEN LINES
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 In this paper we investigate the origin of the mid-infrared (IR) hydrogen recombination lines for a sample of 114 disks in different evolutionary stages (full, transitional and debris disks) collected from the {\it Spitzer} archive. We focus on the two brighter {H~{\sc i}} lines observed in the {\it Spitzer} spectra, the {H~{\sc i}}(7-6) at 12.37$μ$m ...
