Carbon Detonation and Shock-Triggered Helium Burning in Neutron Star Superbursts
Nevin N. Weinberg, Lars Bildsten
The strong degeneracy of the 12C ignition layer on an accreting neutron star results in a hydrodynamic thermonuclear runaway, in which the nuclear heating time becomes shorter than…

Faint Thermonuclear Supernovae from AM Canum Venaticorum Binaries
Lars Bildsten, Ken J. Shen, Nevin N. Weinberg +1
Helium that accretes onto a Carbon/Oxygen white dwarf in the double white dwarf AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) binaries undergoes unstable thermonuclear flashes when the orbital per…
