Scientific paper

The thermonuclear model of X-ray burst sources is invoked to analyze the conditions whereby flash instability can occur in the accretion envelope of a neutron star. Flares lasting from a few seconds to several days and spaced from hours to hundreds of years apart can be understood in terms of the thermonuclear mechanism. A single flare would release 10 to the 39th to 10 to the 45th erg of energy.
