The efficiency of nuclear burning during thermonuclear (Type I) bursts as a function of accretion rate
Y. Cavecchi, D. K. Galloway, A. J. Goodwin +2
We measured the thermonuclear burning efficiency as a function of accretion rate for the Type I X-ray bursts of five low-mass X-ray binary systems. We chose sources with measured n…
Discovery of a thermonuclear Type I X-ray burst in infrared: new limits on the orbital period of 4U 1728-34
F. M. Vincentelli, Y. Cavecchi, P. Casella +4
We report the detection of an infrared burst lagging a thermonuclear Type I X-ray burst from the accreting neutron star 4U 1728-34 (GX 354-0). Observations were performed simultane…
Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. I. Burning Front Structure
Kiran Eiden, Michael Zingale, Alice Harpole +3
We investigate the structure of laterally-propagating flames through the highly-stratified burning layer in an X-ray burst. Two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of flame propa…
Three-dimensional instability of flame fronts in type I X-ray bursts
Yuri Cavecchi, Anatoly Spitkovsky
We present the first realistic 3D simulations of flame front instabilities during type I X-ray bursts. The unperturbed front is characterised by the balance between the pressure gr…
Burning in the tail: implications for a burst oscillation model
Frank R. N. Chambers, Anna L. Watts, L. Keek +2
Accreting neutron stars (NS) can exhibit high-frequency modulations, known as burst oscillations, in their lightcurves during thermonuclear X-ray bursts. Their frequencies can be o…
On the dependence of X-ray burst rate on accretion and spin rate
Yuri Cavecchi, Anna L. Watts, Duncan K. Galloway
Nuclear burning and its dependence on the mass accretion rate are fundamental ingredients for describing the complicated observational phenomenology of neutron stars in binary syst…
