Accreting Neutron Stars in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
Abstract Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs) are systems in which a neutron star accretes matter from a Roche-lobe-filling companion via an accretion disc, releasing gravitational energy with an efficiency of order 10–20% of the rest-mass energy. Unlike black holes, n...
