Scientific paper

The problem of accretion from an inhomogeneous medium is examined. A scenario in which angular momentum can be deposited into the gravitating body, from a medium containing a density gradient, is proposed. The obtained equations are solved under certain simplifying assumptions. In a different regime of flow, it is suggested that angular momentum can be accreted via a displaced accretion line, within the accretion cone, in the classical Bondi-Hoyle picture.
