What can we learn from long term monitoring of X-ray bursters?
Abstract
The last few years have seen the discovery of a number of new aspects of Type I X-ray bursts: the extremely energetic and long duration superbursts, intermediate duration bursts at low luminosities, mHz QPOs, and burst oscillations. These discoveries promise a new understanding of nuclear burning on accreting neutron stars, and offer a chance to use observations to probe neutron star properties. I discuss what we can learn from future long term monitoring with MIRAX.
