      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      In the middle of the 70s, some authors suggested that accretion of hydrogen and helium rich material by a neutron star in a binary system, where the companion star would have low mass, could explain thermonuclear bursts ...

    • Models for Type I X-Ray Bursts Nucleosynthesis with Parallelisation and Improved Nuclear Physics 

      Martin Rodriguez, Jose-David (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-02-03)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      Type I XRBs are thermonuclear flashes on the surface of neutron stars (NS) associated with mass-accretion from a companion star. Models of type I XRBs and their associated nucleosynthesis are physically complicated and ...

    • Models of classical novae with MESA 

      Abril Pla, Oriol (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-06)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      Classical novae are thermonuclear runaways at the envelope of a WD due to the piling up of H-rich accreted material. They have been observed to produce heavy elements during the explosion, and their role in galactical ...

    • Models of stellar winds from X-ray bursts 

      Herrera, Yago (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-12-15)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      The study of stellar winds (SW) in the context of X-ray bursts (XRB) performed in this thesis has two main motivating issues. The first is whether or not the heavy elements produced from nucleosynthesis in XRBs can escape ...
