  "description": "<p>Some observations and numerical simulations of disc-magnetosphere interaction show that accretion can proceed in the propeller regime. When the Alfven radius is beyond the corotation radius, matter climbs up to the high latitudes where the Alfven surface is inside the equilibrium surface and can accrete. We calculate the fraction of the mass flux in the disc that can accrete onto the neutron star depending on the fastness parameter and the inclination angle between rotation and magnetic axis. We find that, for a narrow range of the fastness parameter, the Alfven and the equilibrium surfaces intersect at two different critical latitudes. While the system is transiting from the propeller to the accretion regime (the initial rise of an outburst), the disc is already thick and the part of the disc between these two critical latitudes cannot accrete. In transitions from the accretion to the propeller regime (decay of an outburst), the disc is thin, hence, full accretion of matter proceeds until the Alfven radius moves beyond the equilibrium radius at the disc mid-plane. Therefore, the accretion regime commences at a smaller fastness parameter than it ceases. As a result, the transition from the propeller to the accretion regime occurs at a luminosity higher than the transition from the accretion to the propeller regime. We discuss the implications of our results for spectral transitions exhibited by low-mass X-ray binaries.</p>",
