Sensitivity of He Flames in X-Ray Bursts to Nuclear Physics

Through the use of axisymmetric 2D hydrodynamic simulations, we further investigate laterally propagating flames in X-ray bursts (XRBs). Our aim is to understand the sensitivity of a propagating helium flame to different nuclear physics. Using the Castro simulation code, we confirm the phenomenon of...
