Talk:X-ray burster

message: I did a large overhaul of this page.  Below I have pasted the article before my editing, in case anyone wishes to compare or change back my work. DAID 12:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Large overhaul

message: The former introduction has been replaced by a much expanded version, including references.  The previous one I post below, which is only two sentences, each containing an error.  In the first case, the statement implies X-ray bursters glow only in the X-ray, which is not true, the luminosity is just peaked in this region.  In the second case, the word "accreting" applies to the object onto which matter falls, not the other way around. DAID (talk) 06:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Large overhaul II, Introduction

message: I wonder how we can best integrate the pages concerning the rp-process and X-ray bursts, as the two subjects are inherently intertwined.  DAID 10:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: X-ray bursts vs. rp-process

message: This article needs some citations.  As I made many of the recent additions, I will attempt to my part in citing my sources when I am back at home with access to all my books. DAID 10:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations needed

message: The only queries that come up to this page are 'X-ray burster' and 'X-ray burst.'  It may be useful to add re-directions from 'Xray Burst,' 'Xray Burster,' 'X ray burst,' 'X ray burster' and 'XRB,' but I'm not sure what the Wikipedia policy is on using many redirections, particularly so many.  Maybe my suggested list can be narrowed down to the most likely candidates?  Is there a way to fix this otherwise?  DAID (talk) 13:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirections needed

message: Good work on this and the rp-process page.  I hope to contribute more to this page soon.  I will likely add some information about the multi-peaked x-ray bursts that have been observed, both those that occur due to photospheric radius expansion[PRE] (actually not double peaks in total luminosity) and those more curious bursts which have a double-peak in bolometric luminosity.  For the PREs I will likely discuss the mechanism, but for the latter type I plan to mention suggested causes, but specifically cite them as such.--Potentialwell (talk) 01:51, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks!  I tend to do wiki editing in blocks many months apart, so my editing habits are rather like a step function.  Actually I wanted to add information about double-peaked bursts as well.  This is basically the motivation for my Master's research, but I'd left it out due to a conflict of interest and not being certain that this is generally relevant.

replies: text:  I suppose my editing habits are similar.  I wrote a proposal involving the double-peaked bursts for this year's DOE Office of Science Graduate Student fellowship (...which I didn't get).  I'm just finishing by bachelor's thesis now (under Hendrik Schatz at MSU) but I start grad school at Michigan State in May.--Potentialwell (talk) 01:52, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Daid

message: Been a while since this page was modified! I fixed a number of numerical issues in the main article and moved around a bit of the text to make it flow better. Dunno if DAID is still active here (seems like mostly their work) but I hope these changes are OK. Might be more to come soon
