Fig. 5

Dependence of the time-averaged accretion rate onto the FRMS as a function of the ratio of the azimuthal velocity at the outer turning point, vaz,0, over the circular velocity, vcirc, for the 60 M⊙ star (see Sect. 3.4 for details). The solid line shows the elliptical approximation. The pluses show the result of a direct orbit-integration in the actual Plummer potential. The two methods agree excellently.
