Accretion disks in astrophysics represent the characteristic flow
by which compact bodies accrete mass from their environment. Their
intrinsically high luminosity, and recent progress in observational
accessibility at all wavelength bands, have led to rapidly growing
awareness of their importance and made them the object of intense
research on widely different scales, ranging from binary stars to
young stellar objects and active galactic nuclei. This book
contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Workshop on `Theory
of Accretion Disks 2' for which some of the most active researchers
in the different fields came together at the Max-Planck-Institut
for Astrophysics in Garching in March, 1993. Its reviews and
contributions give an up-to-date account of the present status of
our understanding and provide a stimulating challenge in
discussions of open questions in a rapidly developing field.
