Understanding extremely high rates of accretion (dubbed `super-Eddington\u0027) is vital to explaining the challenging observation that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are fully formed at redshifts \u0026gt;7. It is also important to understanding astrophysical objects such as tidal disruption events (TDEs) and ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). While we are able to perform observations of super-Eddington accreting systems, to understand them more fully, we must turn to numerical studies. In this talk, I will present the results of some recent super-Eddington disk simulations and discuss some of the interesting things we are learning.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccretion of gas onto black holes is one of the most important processes shaping our Universe.
