Explosive H-burning, the rp-process, and X-ray bursts
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 1998)
The major astrophysical events which involve explosive H-burning are novae and type I X-ray bursts. Both are related to binary stellar systems with hydrogen accretion from a binary companion onto a compact object, and the ...
Nucleosynthesis at the proton drip line - a challenge for nuclear physics
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 1998)
The rp-process in X-ray bursts is investigated using a complete and updated nuclear reaction network from H to Sr, that is coupled to a one dimensional, one zone X-ray burst model. In particular we consider 2p-capture ...
