SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 The speaker of this seminar will be Ed Brown from 
 MSU. It will be about carbon burning in astrophysics. 
 Carbon burning powers the final 
 millennia of a massive star's life. Type Ia supernovae, 
 the thermonuclear explosions of white 
 dwarf stars and cosmology's standard candles, 
 are ignited by thermally unstable carbon 
 burning. In the deep ocean of accreting neutron 
 stars, unstable carbon burning powers rare, 
 energetic superbursts that take the neutron 
 star's core temperature. This introductory 
 seminar will present these three phenomena and 
 their dependence on the carbon burning cross 
 section at low energies.\n\n
