X-Ray Bursts from Neutron Stars
I review our understanding of the thermonuclear instabilities on accreting neutron stars that produce Type I X-Ray bursts. I emphasize those observational and theoretical aspects that should interest the broad audience of this meeting. The easily accessible timescales of the bursts (durations of tens of seconds and recurrence times of hours to days) allow for a very stringent comparison to theo...
متن کاملJets, winds and bursts from coalescing neutron stars
Recent high-resolution calculations of neutron star coalescences are used to investigate whether νν annihilation can provide sufficient energy to power gamma-ray bursts, especially those belonging to the short duration category. Late time slices of the simulations, where the neutrino emission has reached a maximum, stationary level are analyzed to address this question. We find that νν annihila...
متن کاملProbing the Properties of Neutron Stars with Type-I X-Ray Bursts
The increase in spin frequency as the burning atmospheres of Type I X-ray bursts cool provides a strong constraint on the radius of the underlying neutron star. If the change in spin frequency is due to a change in the thickness of the atmosphere, the radius of the star must exceed 3GM/c for any equation of state and approximately 3.5GM/c for most physically reasonable equations of state. This ...
متن کاملA Two-zone Model for Type I X-ray Bursts on Accreting Neutron Stars
We construct a two-zone model to describe hydrogen and helium burning on the surface of an accreting neutron star and use it to study the triggering of type I X-ray bursts. Although highly simplified, the model reproduces all of the bursting regimes seen in the more complete global linear stability analysis of Narayan & Heyl (2003), including the regime of delayed mixed bursts. The results are ...
متن کاملObservations of Type I Bursts from Neutron Stars
Observations of Type I X-ray bursts have long been taken as evidence that the sources are neutron stars. Black body models approximate the spectral data and imply a suddenly heated neutron star cooling over characteristic times of seconds to minutes. The phenomena are convincingly explained in terms of nuclear burning of accreted gas on neutron stars with low mass companion stars. Prospects are...
