Various aspects of <strong>bursts</strong>Unusually frequent <strong>bursts</strong>Plausible explanations:(1) Successive <strong>bursts</strong> <strong>from</strong> layersof accumulated accretedmatter?(2) Burning temporarily stalled bywaiting points in the chain ofnuclear reactions?Keek et al. (2010)Either of them will be importantfor nuclear physics.These frequent <strong>bursts</strong> are not observed <strong>from</strong> short period binaries.This implies that hydrogen burning processes play a crucial role forthese <strong>bursts</strong>.
