Linking Burst-only X–ray Binary Sources to Faint X–ray Transients
Burst-only sources are X–ray sources showing up only during short bursts but with no persistent emission (at least with the monitoring instrument which led to their discovery). These bursts have spectral characteristics consistent with thermonuclear (type I) burst from the neutron star surface, linking burst-only sources to neutron star X–ray binary transients. We have carried out a series of s...
متن کاملTwo-component Jet Models of Gamma-ray Burst Sources
Recent observational and theoretical studies have raised the possibility that the collimated outflows in gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources have two distinct components: a narrow (opening half-angle θj,n), highly relativistic (initial Lorentz factor ηn & 10 ) outflow, from which the γ-ray emission originates, and a wider (θj,w . 3 θj,n), moderately relativistic (ηw ∼ 10) surrounding flow. Using a si...
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 کاملHydrogen-triggered Type I X-ray Bursts in a Two-zone Model
We use the two-zone model of Cooper & Narayan to study the onset and time evolution of hydrogen-triggered type I X-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars. At the lowest accretion rates, thermally unstable hydrogen burning ignites helium as well and produces a mixed hydrogen and helium burst. For somewhat higher accretion rates, thermally unstable hydrogen burning does not ignite helium and thus ...
متن کاملDo Gamma-ray Burst Sources Repeat?
The demonstration of repeated gamma-ray bursts from an individual source would severely constrain burst source models. Recent reports (Quashnock and Lamb 1993; Wang & Lingenfelter 1993; Ryan et al. 1994) of evidence for repetition in the first BATSE burst catalog have generated renewed interest in this issue. Here, we analyze the angular distribution of 585 bursts of the second BATSE catalog (M...
