Abstract
Aims. A neutron star crust, which is formed by accretion of matter from a companion in a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB), has a stiffer equation of state (EOS) than that of catalyzed matter. At a given neutron star mass, M, the radius of a star with an accreted crust is therefore larger by ΔR(M) than for the usually considered star built of catalyzed matter.
