Orbital period at the onset of RLOF between a WD and an NS of 1.4 M⊙ as a function of the WD mass. Carbon and helium compositions are considered. The mass–radius relation given by the Hamada & Salpeter (1961) zero-temperature models is assumed. The orbital velocity at the onset of RLOF is given. The motion is very fast but non-relativistic.
