Description
When Neutron Stars are in orbit with a companion star, they can
capture the outer layers of the latter. This new matter can burn
unstably on the surface of the star and explode in bright
X-ray flashes called the Type I Bursts.
In this talk I will show results of MHD modelling of the flame during
the Type I Bursts and discuss its link to observations and to the
properties of the neutron stars such as their magnetic fields or their
interior physics.
