An Adaptive QSE-reduced Nuclear Reaction Network for Silicon Burning
The nuclei of the "iron peak" are formed in massive stars shortly before core collapse and during their supernova outbursts as well as during thermonuclear supernovae. Complete and incomplete silicon burning during these events are responsible for the production of a wide range of nuclei with atomic mass numbers from 28 to 64. Because of the large number of nuclei involved, accurate modeling of...
متن کاملMillihertz Quasi-periodic Oscillations from Marginally Stable Nuclear Burning on an Accreting Neutron Star
We investigate marginally stable nuclear burning on the surface of accreting neutron stars as an explanation for the mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed from three low mass X-ray binaries. At the boundary between unstable and stable burning, the temperature dependence of the nuclear heating rate and cooling rate almost cancel. The result is an oscillatory mode of burning, with an os...
متن کاملConvective Quasi-Equilibrium Reconsidered
The hypothesis of convective quasi-equilibrium states that moist convection reacts almost instantly to drive the atmospheric temperature profile throughout the troposphere to one of a special subset of possible profiles. In a simple case this might consist of a moist adiabat with the saturated moist entropy of the adiabat equaling the moist entropy of the boundary layer. In more complex cases t...
متن کاملIndoor particulate concentration during biomass burning in central India
Indoor air particulate (PM) exposure is several folds more dangerous than outdoor air owing to burning of different materials. Burning biomass emits toxic fumes that are found to be associated with numerous health problems such as respiratory diseases, etc. In our study area, approximately 80% of the population of Chhattisgarh state, central India use biomass such as wood, and cow dung as...
متن کاملGeneralized Convective Quasi-Equilibrium Principle
A generalization of Arakawa and Schubert’s convective quasi-equilibrium principle is presented for a closure formulation of mass-flux convection parameterization. The original principle is based on the budget of the cloud work function. This principle is generalized by considering the budget for a vertical integral of an arbitrary convection-related quantity. The closure formulation includes Ar...
