    What Are We Learning About Super-Eddington Accretion Disks From Simulations?
    Professor Chris Fragile
    Department of Physics & Astronomy, College of Charleston

    Accretion of gas onto black holes is one of the most important processes shaping our Universe. Understanding extremely high rates of accretion (dubbed 'super-Eddington') is vital to explaining the challenging observation that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are fully formed at redshifts >7. It is also important to understanding astrophysical objects such as tidal disruption events (TDEs) and ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs).
