The Influence of Stellar Spin on Ignition of Thermonuclear Runaways
Duncan K. Galloway, Jean J. M. in 't Zand, Jérôme Chenevez +7
Runaway thermonuclear burning of a layer of accumulated fuel on the surface of a compact star provides a brief but intense display of stellar nuclear processes. For neutron stars a…
Identification spectra of several Northern Hemisphere CV candidates
H. Worpel, A. D. Schwope
We obtained Calar Alto identification spectra for six cataclysmic variable candidates, and studied archival observations at a range of wavelengths. Two sources were too faint to al…
Neutron star cooling and the rp process in thermonuclear X-ray bursts
J. J. M. in 't Zand, M. E. B. Visser, D. K. Galloway +5
When the upper layer of an accreting neutron star experiences a thermonuclear runaway of helium and hydrogen, it exhibits an X-ray burst of a few keV with a cool-down phase of typi…
XMM-Newton and optical observations of the eclipsing polar CSS081231:071126+440405
H. Worpel, A. D. Schwope
Aims: We aim to study the temporal and spectral behaviour of the eclipsing polar CSS081231:071126+440405 from the infrared to the X-ray regime. Methods: We obtained phase-resolved…
Evidence for enhanced persistent emission during sub-Eddington thermonuclear bursts
Hauke Worpel, Duncan K. Galloway, Daniel J. Price
The standard approach for time-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of thermonuclear bursts involves subtraction of the pre-burst emission as background. This approach implicitly assum…
Evidence for accretion rate change during type I X-ray bursts
Hauke Worpel, Duncan K. Galloway, Daniel J. Price
The standard approach for time-resolved X-ray spectral analysis of thermonuclear bursts involves subtraction of the pre-burst emission as background. This approach implicitly assum…
