Super-Eddington Winds from Type I X-Ray Bursts

Super-Eddington Winds from Type I X-Ray Bursts

We present hydrodynamic simulations of spherically symmetric super-Eddington winds from radius-expansion type I X-ray bursts. Previous studies assumed a steady-state wind and treated the mass-loss rate as a free parameter. Using MESA, we follow the multi-zone time-dependent burning, the convective and radiative heating of the atmosphere during the burst rise, …
