The Nuclear Reaction Waiting Points: <sup>22</sup> Mg, <sup>26</sup> Si, <sup>30</sup> S, and <sup>34</sup> Ar and Bolometrically Double-peaked Type I X-Ray Bursts
Type I X-ray bursts with a double peak in the bolometric luminosity have been observed from several sources. The separation between the two peaks is on the order of a few seconds. We propose a nuclear waiting point impedance in the thermonuclear reaction flow to explain these observations. Nuclear structure …
