Achromatic late-time variability in thermonuclear X-ray bursts - an accretion disk disrupted by a nova-like shell?
J. J. M. in 't Zand, D. K. Galloway, D. R. Ballantyne
An unusual Eddington-limited thermonuclear X-ray burst was detected from the accreting neutron star in 2S 0918-549 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The burst commenced with a…
Puzzling thermonuclear burst behaviour from the transient low-mass X-ray binary IGR J17473-2721
J. Chenevez, D. Altamirano, D. K. Galloway +8
We investigate the thermonuclear bursting behaviour of IGR J17473-2721, an X-ray transient that in 2008 underwent a six month long outburst, starting (unusually) with an X-ray burs…
Evidence of heavy-element ashes in thermonuclear X-ray bursts with photospheric superexpansion
J. J. M. in 't Zand, N. N. Weinberg
A small subset of thermonuclear X-ray bursts on neutron stars exhibit such a strong photospheric expansion that for a few seconds the photosphere is located at a radius r_ph >~ 100…
