Resumen: In the middle of the 70s, some authors suggested that accretion of hydrogen and helium rich material by a neutron star in a binary system, where the companion star would have low mass, could explain thermonuclear bursts observed by the first satellites launched to the space in order to analyze the Xray band of the electromagnetic spectrum. This phenomenon, known as type I X-ray bursts (XRB), is a thermonuclear runaway produced by the themonuclear fusion of the accreted material in degenerated conditions. This kind of explosion from stellar source is the most frequent in our galaxy (and ...
