The cooling rate of neutron stars after thermonuclear shell flashes
J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Cumming, T. L. Triemstra +2
Thermonuclear shell flashes on neutron stars are detected as bright X-ray bursts. Traditionally, their decay is modeled with an exponential function. However, this is not what theo…
Double-peaked thermonuclear bursts at the soft-hard state transition in the Rapid Burster
T. Bagnoli, J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Patruno +1
Long suspected to be due to unstable accretion events, the type II bursts exhibited by the Rapid Burster (RB, or MXB 1730-335) still lack an exhaustive explanation. Apart from type…
Indications for a slow rotator in the Rapid Burster from its thermonuclear bursting behaviour
T. Bagnoli, J. J. M. in 't Zand, D. K. Galloway +1
We perform time-resolved spectroscopy of all the type I bursts from the Rapid Burster (MXB 1730-335) detected with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Type I bursts are detected at hi…
