KeplerWelcome to the KEPLER online interface. This website accompanies the KEPLER model catalog presented in Lampe, Heger and Galloway (in prep). Here you will find all of the modelled lightcurves, for the complete simulation, and the mean lightcurves where available. Visit Kepler.Index to start!

We present the library of simulated burst profiles from this sample and examine trends across the models. We quantify the power law variation in recurrence time with accretion rate across mixed H/He burning for a range of metallicities, and identify the transition accretion rates to different bursting regimes. We also explore how varying the accretion rate and metallicity affects burst morphology in both the rise and tail. |
