A shared accretion instability for black holes and neutron stars
(Macmillan Publishers, 2023-03-01)
Article
Accés obertAccretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high luminosity1. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure generated by accretion modifies the disk viscosity, resulting in the ... -
A Trojan horse approach to the production of 18F in Novae
(2017-09-01)
Article
Accés obertCrucial information on nova nucleosynthesis can be potentially inferred from ¿-ray signals powered by 18F decay. Therefore, the reaction network producing and destroying this radioactive isotope has been extensively studied ... -
