Abstract

Models of spherically symmetric stars are constructed in which a central neutron star core is accreting material from an envelope (Thorne-Zytkow objects or TZOs). Core masses are allowed to grow by accretion from 0.5 to 2.0 solar masses, and envelope masses range from 0 to 30 solar masses. Models are found which populate the entire range of both parameters, and a limited range of parameter space in which two distinct types of models can coexist, one where gravitational energy and one where nuclear energy is the dominant source of energy.
