REACTION RATE AND COMPOSITION DEPENDENCE OF THE STABILITY OF THERMONUCLEAR BURNING ON ACCRETING NEUTRON STARS

The stability of thermonuclear burning of hydrogen and helium accreted onto neutron stars is strongly dependent on the mass accretion rate. The burning behavior is observed to change from Type I X-ray bursts to stable burning, with oscillatory burning occurring at the transition. Simulations predict...
