[Mesa-users] radius expansion in X-ray bursts

[Meisel, Zach]

Hi Rita,

This isn’t something I’ve done, but Yu & Weinberg ApJ 2018 (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...863...53Y/abstract) looked at PREs from pure He-accretors using MESA.  So that would be a good place to start.

Subject: [Mesa-users] radius expansion in X-ray bursts

Hi,

I am working on the helium accretion on the neutron star that leads to X-ray bursts. I use the module ns_h in mesa.

I am comparing the work from MESA with Kelper. I found some differences between them. Can anyone tell me if MESA tracks the radius expansion in the X-ray bursts? If yes, can anyone tell me more detail how it works? I discovered that there is expansion in the mesa code but I would like someone to tell me more about it. For example, how it is tracked?

Thank you.

Rita
