Top: accretion rate (left axis) as a function of orbital cycle. The right axis displays the corresponding accretion luminosity. Dashed vertical lines mark periastron passages. Bottom: integrated mass accreted per orbit. Black circles represent the mass accreted per full orbital period (orbital phases ϕ = 0.3–1.3). Green diamonds represent the mass accreted per periastron passage (orbital phases ϕ = 0.7–1.3). Horizontal dashed and dot-dashed lines mark the average orbital and periastron accreted masses, respectively.
