Scientific paper

The origin and behavior of accretion disks in interacting binary star systems is discussed. A disk instability model for dwarf nova eruptions is described which, if proven to be correct, should help in answering many questions concerning the physics of accretion disks, of which the greatest mystery is the nature of the physical mechanism that produces viscosity. The disk instability model may explain also the true nature of distant energetic quasars.
