an accretion disc model for near- and super-Eddington rates in which heat is carried inward with the flow, so the disc thickens and radiates less efficiently.

In astrophysics, slim disk refers to an accretion disc model for near- and super-Eddington rates in which heat is carried inward with the flow, so the disc thickens and radiates less efficiently. This meaning comes from Abramowicz (1988) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
