Generation of Type I X-ray Burst Oscillations by Unstable Surface Modes
Ramesh Narayan, Randall L. Cooper
The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has detected nearly coherent oscillations in the tails of type I X-ray bursts from 17 low-mass X-ray binaries. The oscillations are thought to be ge…
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…
Hydrogen-Triggered Type I X-ray Bursts in a Two-Zone Model
Randall L. Cooper, Ramesh Narayan
We use the two-zone model of Cooper & Narayan to study the onset and time evolution of hydrogen-triggered type I X-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars. At the lowest accretion ra…
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…
