Energy accreted onto a compact star
Kaiser Arf, Kai Schwenzer
We compute the energy gained by accretion onto a compact star due to matter falling from the inner edge of a thin accretion disk. We employ a controlled slow-rotation expansion bas…

On the potential of probing the neutron star composition in accreting X-ray binaries
Kaiser Arf, Kai Schwenzer
Transiently accreting Low Mass X-Ray Binaries have the potential to probe the core composition of their neutron stars via deep crustal heating caused by nuclear reactions. We stati…
