This project aims to model nuclear explosions on neutron stars by integrating detailed microphysics with a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic approach. The goal is to create accurate simulations of type I bursts, which will help extract information about neutron star properties from their emitted X-ray light curves.
On Earth, nuclear explosions take place in controlled environments or use small amounts of fuel.
Despite that, they generate spectacular amounts of energy.
When nuclear reactions ignite on a neutron star, the whole surface can burn, resulting in extremely bright X-ray flashes that outshine all the other emission.
These flashes are known as type I bursts.
Their emission encodes information about the neutron star mass and radius and this makes them ideal probes to explore such stars' properties.Mu…
