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…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
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…
Effects of tangential velocity in the reactive relativistic Riemann problem
A. Harpole, I. Hawke
Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear burning events which occur on the surfaces of accreting neutron stars. Burning begins in a localised spot in the star's ocean layer before pro…
