Average accretion rate of gas on the secondary star as a function of the true anomaly, f, along its orbit. The results refer to the base model. In the plot the accretion rate is averaged over 100 orbital periods of the binary. The pericentre is at f = π. The units are Σref (MA/T), where Σref is the average density between 10 and 20 a, in units of MA/a2.
