Fast and slow magnetic deflagration fronts in Type I X-ray bursts
Yuri Cavecchi, Yuri Levin, Anna L. Watts +1
Type I X-ray bursts are produced by thermonuclear runaways that develop on accreting neutron stars. Once one location ignites, the flame propagates across the surface of the star.…
From pulsar scintillations to coronal heating: discontinuities in magnetohydrodynamics
Jonathan Braithwaite
From pulsar scintillations we infer the presence of sheet-like structures in the ISM; it has been suggested that these are current sheets. Current sheets probably play an important…
Flame Propagation on the Surfaces of Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars during Type I X-ray Bursts
Yuri Cavecchi, Anna L. Watts, Jonathan Braithwaite +1
We present the first vertically resolved hydrodynamic simulations of a laterally propagating, deflagrating flame in the thin helium ocean of a rotating accreting neutron star. We u…
Structure of magnetic fields in intracluster cavities
Konstantinos Nektarios Gourgouliatos, Jonathan Braithwaite, Maxim Lyutikov
Observations of clusters of galaxies show ubiquitous presence of X-ray cavities, presumably blown by the AGN jets. We consider magnetic field structures of these cavities. Stabilit…
The He-rich core-collapse supernova 2007Y: Observations from X-ray to Radio Wavelengths
Maximilian Stritzinger, Paolo Mazzali, Mark M. Phillips +21
A detailed study spanning approximately a year has been conducted on the Type Ib supernova 2007Y. Imaging was obtained from X-ray to radio wavelengths, and a comprehensive set of m…
