Simulations of stellar winds from X-ray bursts

Abstract: Context. Photospheric radius expansion during X-ray bursts can be used to measure neutron star radii and help constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter. Understanding the stellar wind dynamics is important for interpreting observations, and therefore stellar wind models, though studied in past decades, have regained interest and need to be revisited with updated data and methods. Aims. Here, we study the radiative wind model in the context of X-ray bursts with modern techniques and physics input. … Show more

“…Quinn & Paczynski (1985) improved the treatment of the outer boundary with an approximate form for the transition from optically-thick to optically-thin parts of the wind. More recently, Herrera et al (2020) carried out a more detailed survey of the available parameter space for these kinds of models, with an emphasis on predicting correlations between photospheric quantities. These studies established the basic features of super-Eddington winds from type I Xray bursts, namely the radiative luminosity is within a few percent of the Eddington luminosity, the outflow velocity is ∼ 0.01c, and photospheric radii ranging from tens of km to 1000 km for the highest mass-loss rates.…”

“…There, the focus is set on the exploration of parameter space, the characterization of different types of solution and their self-consistency with model hypotheses, and analysis of possible predictions related to observable variables, paving the road to the application of the wind models to a more complex XRB scenario. This work has been published in Astronomy & Astrophysics (Herrera et al 2020). Chapter 3 is dedicated to the application of our stellar wind simulations to the XRB scenario described by the hydrodynamic simulations performed by José et al (2010), which includes a thermonuclear reaction network with over 300 isotopes and more than a thousand possible reactions.…”
