SEM Studies on a Strobe Star Composition

R. I. Grose*, M. Cartwright and A. Bailey

ABSTRACT: Data obtained from an analysis of an extinguished strobe star using the technique of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to provide additional evidence for a previous model for the cyclic burning process seen in a white strobe star composition. The model relies on the generation of hot liquid on the surface of the star to initiate the burning process.

Keywords: strobe star, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hot liquid model
