Scientific paper

Accretion at rates exceeding the Eddington limit is common in close binaries and in AGN. Hyperaccreting binaries appear as ultraluminous X-ray sources when viewed close the the inner accretion disc axis, and like SS433 when viewed from other angles. I show that AGN are unlikely to achieve electron-scattering Eddington ratios as high as ULXs, but hyperaccretion of dusty matter is common among AGN. The resulting outflow may well be the origin of the dusty torus invoked in unified AGN schemes.
