Pulse Profile Modelling of Thermonuclear Burst Oscillations II: Handling variability

Yves Kini, Tuomo Salmi, Serena Vinciguerra +6

Pulse profile modelling is a relativistic ray-tracing technique that can be used to infer masses, radii and geometric parameters of neutron stars. In a previous study, we looked at…

Mass Measurement of P to Constrain Type-I X-ray Burst Models and Validate the IMME for the A=27, T= Isospin Quartet

I. T. Yandow, A. Abdullah-Smoot, G. Bollen +12

Light curves are the primary observable of type-I x-ray bursts. Computational x-ray burst models must match simulations to observed light curves. Most of the error in simulated cur…

First direct measurement constraining the Ar(,p)K reaction cross section for mixed hydrogen and helium burning in accreting neutron stars

J. Browne, K. A. Chipps, K. Schmidt +25

The rate of the final step in the astrophysical p-process, the Ar(,\textit{p})K reaction, suffers from large uncertainties due to lack of experimental data, des…

Pulse Profile Modeling of Thermonuclear Burst Oscillations I: The Effect of Neglecting Variability

Yves Kini, Tuomo Salmi, Anna L. Watts +6

We study the effects of the time-variable properties of thermonuclear X-ray bursts on modeling their millisecond-period burst oscillations. We apply the pulse profile modeling tech…

Study of the Mg waiting point relevant for x-ray burst nucleosynthesis via the Mg(,)Al reaction

H. Jayatissa, M. L. Avila, K. E. Rehm +13

The Mg(,)Al reaction rate has been identified as a major source of uncertainty for understanding the nucleosynthesis flow in Type-I x-ray bursts (XRBs). We repo…

Measurements of the Thick Target Yield Near Threshold

K. Brandenburg, G. Hamad, Z. Meisel +11

We present results from direct measurements of the thick target yield from laboratory incident energies 35~MeV, performed with the HeBF$_…
