The reactions and ashes of thermonuclear explosions on neutron stars

摘要

This paper reports on the detailed rp-process reaction flow on an accreting neutron star and the resulting ashes of a type 1 X-ray burst. It is obtained by coupling a 298 isotope reaction network to a self-consistent one-dimensional model calculation with a constant accretion rate of M = 10(17) g/s.
