Scientific paper

The structure of a nuclear deflagration front in the crust of accreting neutron stars is analyzed. Models of quasi-stationary deflagration fronts are calculated and subsequently evolved in time and space in order to check their stability. Unlike white dwarfs, where the velocity of an inward propagating combustion front is governed mainly by energy losses to the gravitational fields, the structure of a deflagration front in neutron stars is determined essentially by the heat fluxes into the stellar core.
