Comparing Early Evolution of Flames in X-ray Bursts in Two and Three Dimensions
Michael Zingale, Kiran Eiden, Max Katz
We explore the early evolution of flame ignition and spreading on the surface of a neutron star in three-dimensions, in the context of X-ray bursts. We look at the nucleosynthesis…
Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. II. Realistic Burning & Rotation
A. Harpole, N. M. Ford, K. Eiden +4
We continue to investigate two-dimensional laterally propagating flames in type I X-ray bursts using fully compressible hydrodynamics simulations. In the current study we relax pre…
Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. I. Burning Front Structure
Kiran Eiden, Michael Zingale, Alice Harpole +3
We investigate the structure of laterally-propagating flames through the highly-stratified burning layer in an X-ray burst. Two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of flame propa…
Comments on "Numerical Stability of Detonations in White Dwarf Simulations"
Doron Kushnir, Boaz Katz
Katz & Zingale (2019, KZ19) recently studied a one-dimensional test problem, intended to mimic the process of detonation ignition in head-on collisions of two carbon--oxygen (CO) w…
Numerical Stability of Detonations in White Dwarf Simulations
Max P. Katz, Michael Zingale
Some simulations of Type Ia supernovae feature self-consistent thermonuclear detonations. However, these detonations are not meaningful if the simulations are not resolved, so it i…
Toward Resolved Simulations of Burning Fronts in Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts
M. Zingale, K. Eiden, Y. Cavecchi +9
We discuss the challenges of modeling X-ray bursts in multi-dimensions, review the different calculations done to date, and discuss our new set of ongoing simulations. We also desc…
White Dwarf Mergers on Adaptive Meshes I. Methodology and Code Verification
Max P. Katz, Michael Zingale, Alan C. Calder +3
The Type Ia supernova progenitor problem is one of the most perplexing and exciting problems in astrophysics, requiring detailed numerical modeling to complement observations of th…
