Richard Cyburt: X-ray burst reaction flows and ash composition

Richard compared results for XRB lightcurves coming from two different methods: Multizone and single zone calculations. Overall the two methods agree quite well, both for composition and light curves. Both compositions peak in the interval A =60,80.
Richard shared us a very useful piece of information about the JINA REACLIB project. REACLIB is a huge data base with nuclear reaction rates. Users can create their own libraries there too.
