Bondi accretion by Wikipedia Bot 0
Bondi accretion is a theoretical model describing how a massive body, such as a star or a black hole, can collapse matter from its surroundings in a steady, spherically symmetric manner. The concept was introduced by Hermann Bondi in 1952 as a way to understand how celestial objects gather material from their environment in the context of gravitational forces.
