Observatory science with eXTP
Jean J. M. in 't Zand, Enrico Bozzo, Jinlu Qu +181
In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring s…
An X-ray-UV correlation in Cen X-4 during quiescence
E. M. Cackett, E. F. Brown, N. Degenaar +3
Quiescent emission from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cen X-4 is seen to be variable on timescales from hundreds of seconds to years, suggesting that at least in this obje…
Sedimentation and Type I X-ray Bursts at Low Accretion Rates
Fang Peng, Edward F. Brown, James W. Truran
Neutron stars, with their strong surface gravity, have interestingly short timescales for the sedimentation of heavy elements. Motivated by observations of Type I X-ray bursts from…
Heating in the Accreted Neutron Star Ocean: Implications for Superburst Ignition
Sanjib Gupta, Edward F. Brown, Hendrik Schatz +2
We perform a self-consistent calculation of the thermal structure in the crust of a superbursting neutron star. In particular, we follow the nucleosynthetic evolution of an accrete…
Superburst Ignition and Implications for Neutron Star Interiors
Edward F. Brown
Superbursts are thought to be powered by the unstable ignition of a carbon-enriched layer formed from the burning of accreted hydrogen and helium. As shown by Cumming & Bildsten, t…
On Variations in the Peak Luminosity of Type Ia Supernovae
F. X. Timmes, Edward F. Brown, J. W. Truran
We explore the idea that the observed variations in the peak luminosities of Type Ia supernovae originate in part from a scatter in metallicity of the main-sequence stars that beco…
