Is it true that neutron stars in binary systems can form accretion disks from material stripped from a companion star?
Yes. A reference article states neutron stars in binary systems accrete gas stripped from a companion, and a detailed astronomy answer describes companion mass transfer settling into an accretion disk around the neutron star. Several other sources confirm accretion disks around neutron stars in binaries.
