Connecting the m-dots: accretion rates and thermonuclear burst recurrence times on neutron stars and white dwarfs

Triantafyllos Kormpakis, Manuel Linares, Jordi José

We present a compilation of observed recurrence times ($t_{\mathrm{rec}}$) and infer the corresponding local mass-accretion rates ($\dot{m}$) for type I X-ray bursts, milliHertz quasi-pe…
