ns_c
This test case shows an example of a carbon flash within a neutron star envelope.
This test case has 1 part. Click to see a larger version of a plot.
Part 1 (
inlist_to_c_flash
) first loads a prebuilt neutron star envelope modelns_c_env.mod
, see the make_env test case. Carbon is then accreted at a rate of 1.7e-9 Msun/year until a carbon runaway at the base of the neutron star envelope reaches an integrated power of 1e6 Lsun:
