On the Physics of Type I X-ray Bursts on Accreting Neutron Stars at High Accretion Rates
Randall L. Cooper, Ramesh Narayan
We investigate the effect of the hot CNO cycle breakout reaction 15O(alpha,gamma)19Ne on the occurrence of type I X-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars. For f_rp <~ 0.1, where f_…

A Two-Zone Model for Type I X-ray Bursts on Accreting Neutron Stars
Randall L. Cooper, Ramesh Narayan
We construct a two-zone model to describe H and He burning on the surface of an accreting neutron star and use it to study the triggering of type I X-ray bursts. Although highly si…
