On burning regimes and long duration X-ray bursts
L. Keek, J. J. M. in 't Zand
Hydrogen and helium accreted onto a neutron star undergo thermonuclear burning. Explosive burning is observed as a type I X-ray burst. We describe the different burning regimes and…
An X-ray and optical study of the ultracompact X-ray binary A1246-58
J. J. M. in 't Zand, C. G. Bassa, P. G. Jonker +4
Results are discussed of an X-ray and optical observation campaign of the low-mass X-ray binary A1246-58 performed with instruments on Satellite per Astronomia X ('BeppoSAX'), the…
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…
