I'd be grateful if you'd pretend the sentence following the one you quote started "These and other processes tend" instead of "They also tend". I regret my sloppiness made it possible for you to read the sentence you quoted as suggesting that a subsonic nuclear explosion would eject bulk matter right out of an NS, rather than generating a burst of X-rays and gammas. The paragraph in question is an oblique reference to the NS analogy to the classical Eddington limit without delving too far into the drivers of eruptive and persistent far-UV "warm" disc winds and other accretion structure outflows. mr_toad's comment didn't warrant dealing with that in detail. And anyway none of this is relevant to the system described in the preprint at the top, which is nothing at all like an NS-LMXB.
