Examining the Relationship between the Persistent Emission and the Accretion Rate during a Type I X-Ray Burst

The accretion flow onto a neutron star will be impacted by irradiation from a type I X-ray burst. The burst radiation exerts Poynting–Robertson (PR) drag on the accretion disk, leading to an enhanced mass accretion rate. Observations of X-ray bursts often find evidence that the normalization of the...
