This project investigates thermonuclear bursts from neutron stars to understand their nuclear physics and astrophysical properties. It aims to analyze X-ray oscillations and spectra to reveal the conditions of unstable burning and the composition of the burning material on neutron star surfaces.
Thermonuclear bursts have been observed from accreting neutron stars for 35 years and provide an ideal space laboratory for nuclear physics, high energy astrophysics, and general relativity.
Millisecond oscillations observed in the past 15 years with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer have also revealed the spin of these objects and the apparent asymmetry in the burning conditions.
The latter led to the phenomenological picture of single-point ignition of unstable burning and subsequent spreading o…
