Abstract: | A critical analysis of standard accretion models is presented. We consider the stability of models in the theories of disc accretion onto black holes and spherical/disc accretion onto a magnetosphere. We take into account realistic physics processes and geometry (inner magnetic field in the accreted plasma, finite conductivity, finite length of the field lines, finite rotation of the accreted object, and magnetic shear on the boundary between the magnetosphere and accreted plasma). The influence of these factors leads to radical changes of both the accretion as whole and the energy release in the accreting system. Strong current-sheet and Z-pinch-like structures should arise over the polar region of the accreting object. Particle acceleration in the electric fields of current discharges in these regions may be a source of efficient conversion of energy into nonthermal particles and of the emission observed from many accreting objects. |
