Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions that occur in the envelopes of accreting
neutron stars. Detailed observations of these phenomena have prompted numerous studies …

Now 50 years since the existence of the neutron star crust was proposed, we review the
current understanding of the nuclear physics of the outer layers of accreting neutron stars …

ABSTRACT X-ray bursts are thermonuclear flashes on the surface of accreting neutron stars,
and reliable burst models are needed to interpret observations in terms of properties of the …

Reactions on proton-rich nuclides drive the nucleosynthesis in core collapse supernovae
(CCSNe) and in x-ray bursts (XRBs). CCSNe eject the nucleosynthesis products to the …

Classical nova explosions and type I X-ray bursts are the most frequent types of
thermonuclear stellar explosions in the Galaxy. Both phenomena arise from thermonuclear …

Nuclear processes not only generate the energy and drive the evolution of stars, but also are
responsible for the synthesis of the elements in the Universe. Helium (4 He, or α) is the …

Background: Type I x-ray bursts are the most frequently observed thermonuclear explosions
in the galaxy, resulting from thermonuclear runaway on the surface of an accreting neutron …

The Ar 34 (α, p) K 37 reaction is believed to be one of the last in a sequence of (α, p) and (p,
γ) reactions within the T z=− 1, sd-shell nuclei, known as the α p-process. This process is …

The S 30 (α, p) Cl 33 reaction has been identified in several type-1 x-ray burst (XRB)
sensitivity studies as a significant reaction within the α p process, possibly influencing not …

When we think of clustering in nuclear physics, the astrophysical importance within light
nuclei and structural manifestations with classical analogs immediately come to mind. 4He …
