Thermonuclear X-ray bursts
Duncan K. Galloway, Laurens Keek
Type-I X-ray bursts arise from unstable thermonuclear burning of accreted fuel on the surface of neutron stars. In this chapter we review the fundamental physics of the burning pro…
Neutron star cooling and the rp process in thermonuclear X-ray bursts
J. J. M. in 't Zand, M. E. B. Visser, D. K. Galloway +5
When the upper layer of an accreting neutron star experiences a thermonuclear runaway of helium and hydrogen, it exhibits an X-ray burst of a few keV with a cool-down phase of typi…
Thermonuclear Bursts with Short Recurrence Times from Neutron Stars Explained by Opacity-Driven Convection
L. Keek, A. Heger
Thermonuclear flashes of hydrogen and helium accreted onto neutron stars produce the frequently observed Type I X-ray bursts. It is the current paradigm that almost all material bu…
Thermonuclear burst observations for model comparisons: a reference sample
Duncan K. Galloway, Adelle J. Goodwin, Laurens Keek
We present a sample of observations of thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts, selected for comparison with numerical models. Provided are examples of four distinct cases of thermonuc…
IGR J17062-6143 is an Accreting Millisecond X-ray Pulsar
Tod E. Strohmayer, Laurens Keek
We present the discovery of 163.65 Hz X-ray pulsations from IGR J17062-6143 in the only observation obtained from the source with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. This detection ma…
