the model in which hydrogen ionization makes accretion discs thermally and viscously unstable, cycling between states and producing dwarf nova and X-ray transient outbursts.

In astrophysics, disc instability model refers to the model in which hydrogen ionization makes accretion discs thermally and viscously unstable, cycling between states and producing dwarf nova and X-ray transient outbursts. This meaning comes from Lasota (2001) in New Astronomy Reviews.[1]
