Helium-burning flashes on accreting neutron stars - Effects of stellar mass, radius, and magnetic fieldThe effects of a neutron-star mass, radius, and surface magnetic field on the character of helium-burning flashes are studied. It is found that the effects of mass and radius can be described by simple scaling relations. A strong magnetic field decreases the radiative and conductive opacities and inhibits convection in the neutron-star surface layers.
