Disks are ubiquitous in astrophysics and participate in some of its most important processes: star, planet, and satellite formation; the growth of supermassive black holes; the production of jets and outflows, to name but a few. Although astrophysical disks can vary by ten orders of magnitude in size and differ hugely in composition, all share many physical phenomena. This talk explores these areas of overlap, while selecting a few topics to go into further detail, such as structure formation in Saturn’s rings, gap formation in protoplanetary disks, and the huge luminosities achieved by accretion on to compact objects.

This talk is part of the Archimedeans Talks LT25 series.
