Thermonuclear burning in the envelope of an accreting neutron star
Creators
Description
A simple analytical method has been used to investigate thermonuclear flashes in a degenerate envelope of an accreting neutron star. The heating source is the compression of envelope and the cooling is due to the radiative cooling of the envelope. The role of hydrogen burning is discussed. A possible evolutionary scenario for formation of preburster binaries consisting of a neutron star and a low mass main sequence star is proposed. (Auth.)
