Abstract
The lecture first describes the basic principles underlying formation of a wind from a stellar atmosphere by external heating. These ideas are then applied to the case of binary companions of neutron stars (NS) which are being heated by the NS radiation in Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) and in binary millisecond pulsar systems. Among others, the possibilities of companion evaporation and of self-excited X-ray systems is discussed. Finally, a model for the newly discovered “windy” binary pulsar 1744-24A is presented.
