Observatory Science with eXTP

Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97

Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…

X-ray burst ignition location on the surface of accreting X-ray pulsars: Can bursts preferentially ignite at the hotspot?

A. J. Goodwin, A. Heger, F. R. N. Chambers +2

Hotspots on the surface of accreting neutron stars have been directly observed via pulsations in the lightcurves of X-ray pulsars. They are thought to occur due to magnetic channel…

Waves in Thin Oceans on Oblate Neutron Stars

Bart F. A. van Baal, Frank R. N. Chambers, Anna L. Watts

Waves in thin fluid layers are important in various stellar and planetary problems. Due to rapid rotation such systems will become oblate, with a latitudinal variation in the gravi…

Deep model simulation of polar vortices in gas giant atmospheres

Ferran Garcia, Frank R. N. Chambers, Anna L. Watts

The Cassini and Juno probes have revealed large coherent cyclonic vortices in the polar regions of Saturn and Jupiter, a dramatic contrast from the east-west banded jet structure s…

Relativistic ocean -modes during type-I X-ray bursts

Frank R. N. Chambers, Anna L. Watts

Accreting neutron stars (NS) can exhibit high frequency modulations in their lightcurves during thermonuclear X-ray bursts, known as burst oscillations. These frequencies can be of…

Burning in the tail: implications for a burst oscillation model

Frank R. N. Chambers, Anna L. Watts, L. Keek +2

Accreting neutron stars (NS) can exhibit high-frequency modulations, known as burst oscillations, in their lightcurves during thermonuclear X-ray bursts. Their frequencies can be o…

Thermal convection in rotating spherical shells: temperature-dependent internal heat generation using the example of triple- burning in neutron stars

F. Garcia, F. R. N Chambers, A. L. Watts

We present an extensive study of Boussinesq thermal convection including a temperature-dependent internal heating source, based on numerical three-dimensional simulations. The temp…

Superburst oscillations: ocean and crustal modes excited by Carbon-triggered Type I X-ray bursts

Frank R. N. Chambers, Anna L. Watts, Yuri Cavecchi +2

Accreting neutron stars (NS) can exhibit high frequency modulations in their lightcurves during thermonuclear X-ray bursts, known as burst oscillations. The frequencies can be offs…

The onset of low Prandtl number thermal convection in thin spherical shells

F. Garcia, F. R. N. Chambers, A. L. Watts

This study considers the onset of stress-free Boussinesq thermal convection in rotating spherical shells with aspect ratio ( and being the inner and oute…
