ADAFs -- Models, Observations and Problems
Abstract
We review some of the properties of Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF) models and show that they successfully describe many astrophysical systems. Despite these successful applications some fundamental problems still remain to be solved, the most important one being the physics of the transition between an ADAF and a geometrically thin Keplerian disc.
