Description

The author reviews the progress achieved in developing the thermonuclear flash model of X-ray burst sources. Numerical calculations have been remarkably successful in accounting for the general properties of the bursts from most X-ray burst sources. Moreover, the theoretical work to date suggests that the characteristics of X-ray bursts should be capable of imparting substantial constraints on the properties of the underlying neutronstatrs.
