• Active galactic nucleus feedbackRelated: The disk supplies much of the radiation and outflow power that drives feedback.

• Conservation of angular momentumRelated: Redistribution of angular momentum helps matter spiral inward while other material moves outward.

• Stellar rotationRelated: Disk coupling can regulate how rapidly a young star spins while it gains mass.

• BlazarRelated: It feeds the black hole and shapes the environment around the jet’s launch region.

• Cygnus X-1Related: Gas captured from the companion forms a hot disk that radiates X-rays.

• Roche-lobe overflowRelated: Transferred gas often forms a disk around the receiving star.
