Flame Propagation on the Surfaces of Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars during Type I X-ray Bursts
Yuri Cavecchi, Anna L. Watts, Jonathan Braithwaite +1
We present the first vertically resolved hydrodynamic simulations of a laterally propagating, deflagrating flame in the thin helium ocean of a rotating accreting neutron star. We u…
Chandra-HETGS Observations of the Brightest Flare Seen from Sgr A*
M. A. Nowak, J. Neilsen, S. B. Markoff +10
Starting in 2012, we began an unprecedented observational program focused on the supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy, Sgr A*, utilizing the High Energy Transmission…
On the dynamics of mechanical failures in magnetized neutron-star crusts
Yuri Levin, Maxim Lyutikov
We consider the dynamics of a mechanical failure induced by a shear stress in a strongly magnetized neutron-star crust. We show that even if the elastic properties of the crust all…
