On Heavy Element Enrichment in Classical Novae
A. Alexakis, A. C. Calder, A. Heger +10
Many classical nova ejecta are enriched in CNO and Ne. Rosner et al. recently suggested that the enrichment might originate in the resonant interaction between large-scale shear fl…

Ballooning Instability in Polar Caps of Accreting Neutron Stars
C. Litwin, Edward F. Brown, R. Rosner
We assess the stability of Kruskal-Schwarzschild (magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor) type modes for accreted matter on the surface of a neutron star confined by a strong (>= 1.E12 G) magnet…

Nuclear heating and melted layers in the inner crust of an accreting neutron star
Edward F. Brown
A neutron star in a long-lived, low-mass binary can easily accrete enough matter to replace its entire crust. Previous authors noted that an accreted crust, being formed from the b…
