Description
I will present most recent results, not yet published, concerning the super-Eddington accretion onto neutron stars and black holes. In the case of neutron stars, a new phenomenon is predicted: a levitating atmosphere. In the case of black holes, the Polish Doughnut model for super critical accretion is critically revisited.
