The cooling rate of neutron stars after thermonuclear shell flashes [PDF]
Thermonuclear shell flashes on neutron stars are detected as bright X-ray bursts. Traditionally, their decay is modeled with an exponential function. However, this is not what theory predicts.

On the nature of two low M-dot X-ray bursters: 1RXS J170854.4-321857 and 1RXS J171824.2-402934 [PDF]
We carried out Chandra observations of two low-luminosity low-mass X-ray binaries, 1RXS J170854.4-321857 and 1RXS J171824.2-402934, for which previously single X-ray bursts had been detected with the Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) on board BeppoSAX. Both were

Multiple Sub-Jet Model of Gamma Ray Bursts and Possible Origin of X-ray Precursors and Post-cursors [PDF]
We assume that internal shocks of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) consist of multiple sub-jets with a collimation half-angle $\sim {\rm several }\times\gamma_i^{-1}$, where $\gamma_i$ is the Lorenz factor of each sub-jet.

A state-dependent influence of the type-I bursts on the accretion in 4U 1608--52?
We investigated the possible feedback of type-I burst to the accretion process during the spectral evolution of the atoll source 4U 1608--52. By fitting the burst spectrum with a blackbody and an adjustable, persistent spectral component, we found that ...

Searching for the most powerful thermonuclear X-ray bursts with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory
We searched for thermonuclear X-ray bursts from Galactic neutron stars in all event mode data of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory collected until March 31, 2018. In particular, we are interested in the intermediate-duration bursts (shell flashes fueled
