Kylafis and Lamb (1979, hereafter KL) have recently completed a comprehensive study of X-ray emission from accreting nonmagnetic degenerate dwarfs. Their calculations assumed a common temperature for the electrons and the ions, and neglected electron conduction. However, when Compton cooling of the X-ray emission region becomes important at high masses, electron conduction begins to play a role (Kylafis 1978).
