Left: mass accreted by the NS () for LMXBs/IMXBs with a 1.3 M_⊙ NS and β = max[0.7, 1 − Ṁ_Edd/Ṁ_donor]. Binaries producing the lowest WD masses show the highest accretion on the NS. Right: same as left but for LMXBs/IMXBs with a 2.0 M_⊙ NS. The systems below the white boundary are those where the accretor has accreted enough mass to exceed the maximum mass limit for a NS, here assumed to be 2.17 M_⊙.
