The influence of accretion rate and metallicity on thermonuclear bursts: predictions from KEPLER models
Nathanael Lampe, Alexander Heger, Duncan K. Galloway
Using the KEPLER hydrodynamics code, 464 models of thermonuclear X-ray bursters were performed across a range of accretion rates and compositions. We present the library of simulat…
A Soft X-Ray Spectral Episode for the Clocked Burster, GS 1826-24 as Measured by Swift and NuSTAR
J. Chenevez, D. K. Galloway, J. J. M. in 't Zand +12
We report on NuSTAR and Swift observations of a soft state of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GS 1826-24, commonly known as the "clocked" burster. The transition to the soft…
Gravitational waves from Sco X-1: A comparison of search methods and prospects for detection with advanced detectors
C. Messenger, H. J. Bulten, S. G. Crowder +13
The low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 (Sco X-1) is potentially the most luminous source of continuous gravitational-wave radiation for interferometers such as LIGO and Virgo. For…
The LOFT perspective on neutron star thermonuclear bursts
J. J. M. in 't Zand, D. Altamirano, D. R. Ballantyne +31
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
Evidence for enhanced persistent emission during sub-Eddington thermonuclear bursts
Hauke Worpel, Duncan K. Galloway, Daniel J. Price
The standard approach for time-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of thermonuclear bursts involves subtraction of the pre-burst emission as background. This approach implicitly assum…
