Data Files

Below we provide preliminary data sets. Note that part of this data is not yet published in refereed journals and thus may be updated without notice.
We would appreciate if you contact us before using the data on this site for your publications.

Data files will become available on this site in the future.
Please contact us if you require any data files or output quantities.

Movies

Some animations showning nuclear-powered oscillations in accreting neutron stars, Heger, Cumming, and Woosley (submitted to ApJ).

• selected isotopes (7.5 MByte)
• all isotopes, selected isotopes with thick lines (16 MByte)
• all isotopes (16 MByte)
• all isotopes, real time (149 MByte)
  play this mobie only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM when using a web browser; mplayer is fine for almost any machine

All the movies are in the movie directory. Please read the readme.txt file before loading movies and animations, some are so large they may crash your computer.
