@Michael_Zingale Cooling 1-d slab as simple model of X-ray burst or superburst. Cumming & Macbeth (~2006). Good physics intuition building too. You get a break in lightcurve at thermal diffusion timescale of layer.
A leading member of the #astrophysics community, @KITP_UCSB director Lars Bildsten has been chosen among the inaugural class of Fellows of @AAS_Office. https://t.co/G8u3c4Rqgx
Ok. My apologies for the unusual timing. Funding complications have delayed this posting. But: I now have an opening for a postdoc: https://t.co/64BjIy6cfJ Submit by 4/6 for full consideration.
We are pleased to congratulate Jim Truran, one of the founding PIs of JINA, for being awarded the 2020 Laboratory Astrophysics Prize, the highest honor awarded by the Laboratory Astrophysics Division (LAD) of the American Astronomical Society (AAS)!

"This finding may have implications such as lowering the temperatures and densities required for ignition of carbon burning in massive stars and decreasing superburst ignition depth in accreting NS to reconcile observations with theoretical models" https://t.co/J7N2lRf5V9
Registration is still open for our 2018 Frontiers in Nuclear Astrophysics meeting https://t.co/XqqN4dbhKb. Frontiers brings together researchers in nuclear physics, astronomy, and astrophysics to discuss progress and future paths in understanding the origin of the elements and NS
