Rotational Evolution during Type I X‐Ray Bursts

Rotational Evolution during Type I X‐Ray Bursts

The rotation rates of six weakly magnetic neutron stars accreting in low-mass X-ray binaries have most likely been measured by Type I X-ray burst observations with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array. The phenomenology of the nearly coherent oscillations detected during the few seconds of thermonuclear burning is …
