The evolution of low-mass, close binary systems with a neutron star component: a detailed grid

In close binary systems composed of a normal donor star and an accreting neutron star, the amount of material received by the accreting component is, so far, a real intrigue. In the literature, there are available models that link the accretion disc surrounding the neutron star with the amount of material it receives, but there is no model linking the amount of matter lost by the donor star to that falling on to the neutron star.
