Long tails on thermonuclear X-ray bursts from neutron stars: a signature of inward heating?
J. J. M. in 't Zand, L. Keek, A. Cumming +3
We report the discovery of one-hour long tails on the few-minutes long X-ray bursts from the `clocked burster' GS 1826-24. We propose that the tails are due to enduring thermal rad…
First superburst from a classical low-mass X-ray binary transient
L. Keek, J. J. M. in 't Zand, E. Kuulkers +3
We report the analysis of the first superburst from a transiently accreting neutron star system with the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The superburst oc…
Discovery of X-ray burst triplets in EXO 0748-676
L. Boirin, L. Keek, M. Mendez +5
[Abridged] Type-I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear flashes that take place on the surface of accreting neutron stars. The wait time between consecutive bursts is set by the time requ…
The superburst recurrence time in luminous persistent LMXBs
L. Keek, J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Cumming
Theory and observations favor stable helium burning as the most important means to produce fuel for superbursts on neutron star surfaces. However, all known superbursters exhibit u…
