Direct measurement of Cu(,)Ni precludes a strong NiCu cycle in Type-I X-ray bursts
N. Bhathi, J. S. Randhawa, R. Kanungo +36
Model-observation comparisons of type-I X-ray bursts (XRBs) can reveal the properties of accreting neutron star systems, including the neutron star compactness. XRBs are powered by…

Enhanced Nuclear Binding Near the Proton Dripline Opens Possible Bypass of the rp-process Waiting Point
Z. Meisel, W. -J. Ong, J. S. Randhawa
We performed astrophysics model calculations with updated nuclear data to identify a possible bypass of the waiting-point, a defining feature of the rapid-proton ca…
