Comparing the Accretion Disk Evolution of Black Hole and Neutron Star X-ray Binaries from Low to Super-Eddington Luminosity

Shan-Shan Weng, Shuang-Nan Zhang

Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are systems in which a low-mass companion transfers mass via Roche-lobe overflow onto a black hole (BH) or a weakly magnetized neutron star (NS). It…
