In this chapter, we summarize recent progress on the properties of accretion disks when the accretion rate exceeds the so-called Eddington limit based on multi-dimensional radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations. We first summarize the classical models that are used to describe the accretion disks in the super-Eddington regime with an emphasis on the key uncertainties in these models. Then we show that radiation-driven outflows are ubiquitously found by numerical simulations of super-Eddington accretion disks. Some key physical processes on energy transport inside the disk are also identified by numerical simulations. Radiative and mechanical output as a function of mass accretion rates, black hole mass, spin, and magnetic field topology are summarized. Applications of super-Eddington accretion disks to different astrophysical systems, particularly tidal disruption events, are also discussed.

  1. Strongly Magnetized Super-Eddington Accretion: How Spin and Accretion Rate Regulate Energy Output and Mass Loss

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    GRRMHD simulations of 32 super-Eddington magnetically arrested disks show black hole spin boosts energy output super-linearly while mass has no effect over 5–30 solar masses.

  2. Supermassive Black Hole Growth in Massive Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn

    astro-ph.GA 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0

    In a simulated ~1e11 Msun halo at z 15-9, stellar feedback starves the central black hole about 50% of the time, and AGN feedback never quenches star formation.

  3. Wind Acceleration as a Driver of Detached Blueshifted Absorption in Quasar Disk Winds

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Biconical disk-wind models show that small acceleration length R_v plus high terminal velocity is required to produce detached blueshifted CIV absorption in synthetic spectra at intermediate inclinations.

  4. Investigating the Spectral Properties of Dual Nuclei in Galaxy Mergers from the GOTHIC survey: Supermassive Black Hole Growth, metal enrichment and Dual AGN

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Spectroscopic analysis of dual nuclei shows SMBH masses higher in galaxy mergers than single nuclei at fixed stellar mass.
