Notes. δsacc is the difference between the specific entropy of the accreted material and the average specific entropy in the convective zone. eacc is the specific internal energy of the accreted material. τconv is the convective turnover time scale. Tsurf and ρsurf are the volume-weighted average of the surface temperature and density, respectively (those quantities are calculated after the accretion boundary condition is applied and a quasi-steady state equilibrium is reached). L is the total luminosity, calculated from the Stefan-Boltzmann law and assuming Tsurf is representative of the stellar effective temperature.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
