Anna Watts: "Type I bursts and burst oscillations"

Anna reviewed the X-ray bursts which are observed from roughly half the known NS LMXBs. There is a rich variety of phenomena observed in these bursts, and new types of bursts are still emerging (e.g. burst triplets). These new types of bursts are revealing new burning regimes. However, there is still no satisfactory explanation for the burst oscillations, which are confidently observed in 12 sources. These burst oscillations show great variety in behaviour from source to source, which makes it difficult to provide a singular explanation.
