The phrase "accretion power" is not a standard expression in written English and may not be widely recognized.
It could potentially be used in specific contexts related to finance, science, or technology, where "accretion" refers to growth or accumulation over time.
Example: "The company's accretion power has significantly increased due to its successful investment strategies."
Alternatives: "growth potential" or "accumulation capacity".

log (accretion power / Eddington luminosity), in units of log L / logLEdd.
X-ray observations provide the most direct measure of black hole accretion power.
For RISCO < R < Rc, most of the accretion power is released via non-thermal processes.
For instance, these outflows can carry away a significant fraction of the accretion power and can strongly impact their environment.
We propose a scenario in which the jet and the X-ray corona are fed by the same energy reservoir where large amounts of accretion power are stored before being channelled into either the jet or the high energy radiation.
X-Calibur studies the polarization of hard X-rays from mass accreting black holes and rotation and accretion powered neutron stars.
The CSR group proposed to AS&E a multi-grid modulation collimator that enabled arc-minute precision in the position measurement (gur66), which resulted in the identification of Sco X-1 with a peculiar rapidly fluctuating blue star later understood to be an accretion powered X-ray binary.
Here, we review the methods based on: (1) thermonuclear X-ray bursts; (2) accretion-powered millisecond-period pulsations; (3) kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations; (4) broad relativistic iron lines; (5) quiescent emissions; and (6) binary orbital motions.

There is a growing sense in the White House that with Mr. Putin's accretion of power, his ability to dictate his own successor or to remain the country's ruler in some capacity is unavoidable at this point.
