Accretion because usually they form from a protoplanetary accretion disk.


What would happen to a neutron star with an accretion disk orbiting in a direction opposite to the neutron star's spin?

The neutron star so affected wouldn't really notice. The mass of the neutron star is huge compared to that of the material in the accretion disk. And that matter, when it falls in, wouldn't really "slow" the spin of the star much unless there was a gigantic quantity of matter falling in and/or it acted over a very long period.

Why wouldn't an accretion disk orbiting a giant star get as hot as an accretion disk orbiting a compact object?

An accretion disk is heated by friction and compression, both of which are greater for material falling into a compact object as the material is forced into a smaller space. The hottest accretion disks would be found around black holes.


What may form an an accretion disk?

solar system Material that is in orbit around a massive central body is an accretion disk. This disk can eventually turn into a white dwarf star. An accretion disc may eventually form planets such as the ones in our solar system.
