Scientific paper

We investigate the structure of a slow reaction front on the surface of a dwarf, with a wake of escaping matter above it. We give simple expressions for all the important properties of such a front. It is found that a hydrogen or helium burning front is possible on a dwarf heavier than about one solar mass. For heavier fuels such a process seems impossible.
