X-ray bursts

Tours symposium on nuclear physics III, 1998
The observations and progress in the theoretical understanding of X-ray burst sources are reviewed. Of about 150 known low mass X-ray binary systems, X-ray bursts have been observed from about 50 sources. X-ray bursts exhibit a wide variety of profiles; rise times vary from less than a second to about 10 s and decay times are in the range of 10 s to ...

X-Ray Bursts from Soft X-Ray Transients

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1986
Abstract The thermal evolution of a neutron star in a soft X-ray transient is computed from an off-accretion phase through the first shell flash after an onset of the accretion. The structure and the evolution of the whole neutron star are solved by taking account of general relativity properly.

X-Ray Bursts

1991
We summarize the observed features of X-ray bursts and the key elements of the thermonuclear flash model of this phenomenon. We then elucidate the full range of possible burst behavior using a global analysis of the stability of nuclear burning on accreting neutron stars.

X-ray bursts puzzle theorists

Physics World, 1996
Most of the brightest sources in the X-ray sky are binary systems in which a small, dense neutron star and a companion star orbit around each other. The neutron star, which has a strong gravitational field, accretes matter from its companion. As this matter falls into the neutron star, it is heated to temperatures high enough to radiate predominantly ...

On maximum luminosities of X-ray bursts

Space Science Reviews, 1985
In this paper we address problems associated with the observation of super-Eddington luminosities in X-ray burst sources and discuss some possible solutions.

Hard X-ray Images of Impulsive Bursts

Solar Physics, 1983
A morphological study is made for the hard X-ray images (25–50 keV) of nine impulsive bursts observed by Hinotori. Most of them revealed single sources, either extended or compact, during the whole duration of the bursts. The sources of all of four spike bursts in the present sample are compact.

The rp-process in x-ray bursts

Exotic nuclei and atomic masses (ENAM 98), 1997
The rp-process was first suggested by Wallace and Woosley (1981) as the dominant nucleosynthesis process in explosive hydrogen burning at high temperature and density conditions. The process is characterized by a sequence of fast proton capture reactions and subsequent β-decays.

Homology of X-ray bursts

Solar Physics, 1969
The present paper demonstrates on the basis of 2 series of events that one can extend the homology so far known for optical and radio flares also to the hard and soft X-ray bursts. The studied homologous X-ray flares occurred in the same active region and their time-intensity profiles were very similar.
