Nucleosynthesis in type I X-ray bursts [PDF]
Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2013 Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions that occur in the envelopes of accreting neutron stars. Detailed observations of these phenomena have prompted numerous studies in theoretical astrophysics and experimental nuclear physics since their discovery over 35 years ago.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1977 Since those reviews there have been very important new developments. First, a surprisingly new animal, GRO J1744—28 (better known as the Bursting Pulsar), made its debut in 1995. Second, but NOT last, in 1996/97 kHz pulsations were discovered in the persistent emission of several burst sources, and near coherent pulsations were detected in type I X-ray

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1995 An X-ray burst is a sudden increase (rise time of order seconds) of the X-ray brightness of an X-ray source, which after reaching its peak decays, generally within a minute. The sky distribution of X-ray burst sources indicates that they are galactic objects (see Fig.

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1986 AbstractType I cosmic X-ray bursts are widely thought to result from thermonuclear flashes in the surface layers of accreting neutron stars. The thermonuclear-flash model is able to account for a wide variety of observed burst phenomena. However, a number of theoretical and observational problems persist.

Supercollapsars and their X-ray bursts [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2010 Abstract The very first stars in the Universe can be very massive, up to 103 M⊙. If born in large numbers, such massive stars can have a strong impact on the subsequent star formation, producing strong ionizing radiation and contaminating the primordial gas with heavy elements.

Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts [PDF]
, 2020 Type-I X-ray bursts arise from unstable thermonuclear burning of accreted fuel on the surface of neutron stars. In this chapter we review the fundamental physics of the burning processes, and summarise the observational, numerical, and nuclear experimental progress over the preceding decade.

Highlights of Astronomy, 1977 Most of the variable phenomena of high-luminosity (≳1036erg s−1) stellar X-ray sources can be explained, at least qualitatively, within the general framework of binary accretion models in which thermal X-rays are emitted in the vicinity of a neutron star or blackhole by plasma that has flowed downhill from the surface of a nuclear burning companion and

X-Ray Bursts of Nuclear Origin [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1977 The fate of nuclear energy carried by matter accreted onto a neutron star was considered e.g. by Rosenbluth et al. (1973). They examined pycnonuclear reactions on an originally cold star, and found that the whole star is thereby heated up to 106−107 °K. The thermonuclear reactions that can be ignited then, have been studied by Hansen and Van Horn (1975)

X-ray burst ignition location on the surface of accreting X-ray pulsars: can bursts preferentially ignite at the hotspot? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Hotspots on the surface of accreting neutron stars have been directly observed via pulsations in the light curves of X-ray pulsars. They are thought to occur due to magnetic channelling of the accreted fuel to the neutron star magnetic poles.
