Investigations of Pointwise Ignition of Helium Deflagrations on Neutron Stars
M. Zingale, S. E. Woosley, A. Cumming +7
We look at the spreading of localized temperature perturbations in the accreted fuel layer of a non-rotating neutron star. The pressure at the base of the accreted fuel layer is la…
The Statistics of Extrasolar Planets: Results from the Keck Survey
Andrew Cumming, Geoffrey W. Marcy, R. Paul Butler +1
We present an analysis of precision radial velocity measurements for 580 stars from the Keck survey. We first discuss the detection threshold of the survey, and then describe a Bay…
Magnetic Field Evolution in an Accreting White Dwarf
Andrew Cumming
I discuss the evolution of the magnetic field of an accreting white dwarf. I show that the ohmic decay time is 7-12 billion years for the lowest order decay mode, almost independen…
Oceanography of Accreting Neutron Stars: Non-Radial Oscillations and Periodic X-Ray Variability
Lars Bildsten, Andrew Cumming, Greg Ushomirsky +1
Observations of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the luminosity from many accreting neutron stars (NS) have led us to investigate a source of periodicity prevalent in other st…
