MODEL ATMOSPHERES FOR X-RAY BURSTING NEUTRON STARS

ABSTRACT The hydrogen and helium accreted by X-ray bursting neutron stars is periodically consumed in runaway thermonuclear reactions that cause the entire surface to glow brightly in X-rays for a few seconds. With models of the emission, the mass and radius of the neutron star can be inferred from...
