Oscillation Waveforms and Amplitudes from Hot Spots on Neutron Stars
Oscillation Waveforms and Amplitudes from Hot Spots on Neutron Stars
The discovery of high-amplitude brightness oscillations during type I X-ray bursts from six low-mass X-ray binaries has provided a powerful new tool to study the properties of matter at supranuclear densities, the effects of strong gravity, and the propagation of thermonuclear burning. There is substantial evidence that these brightness oscillations …
