Experimental measurements of the O15(alpha,gamma)Ne19 reaction rate and the stability of thermonuclear burning on accreting neutron stars
Jacob Lund Fisker, Wanpeng Tan, Joachim Goerres +2
Neutron stars in close binary star systems often accrete matter from their companion stars. Thermonuclear ignition of the accreted material in the atmosphere of the neutron star le…

The Latitude of Type I X-Ray Burst Ignition on Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars
Randall L. Cooper, Ramesh Narayan
We investigate the latitude at which type I X-ray bursts are ignited on rapidly rotating accreting neutron stars. We find that, for a wide range of accretion rates, ignition occurs…
