title = "Bottlenecks and waiting points in nucleosynthesis in X-ray bursts and novae",
abstract = "To better understand the energy generation and element synthesis occurring in novae and X-ray bursts, we give quantitative definitions to the concepts of {"}bottlenecks{"} and {"}waiting points{"} in the thermonuclear reaction flow.We use these criteria to search for bottlenecks and waiting points in post-processing element synthesis explosion simulations. We have incorporated these into the Computational Infrastructure for Nuclear Astrophysics, a suite of nuclear astrophysics codes available online at nucastrodata.org, so that anyone may perform custom searches for bottlenecks and waiting points.",
