Abstract
The stability analysis of a geometrically thin, gas-pressure dominated accretion disk
around a neutron star is presented.We have also derived the electron degenerate pressures
and gas pressure in the middle and outer regions of the disk as a function of r using
radial dependence of the central temperature and the density. The latter was obtained using
the basic equations for thin accretion in non-relativistic case. The stability is analyzed
at a small temperature, that is temperature approaching zero and at nite temperature.
The contribution of both fully and partially degenerate electrons for the stability of the
disk in its middle and outer regions are investigated. We nd that the disk is stable in
these regions, where the gas pressure is more dominant than radiation pressure
