'''XNet''' is a thermonuclear reaction network for astrophysical applications, using the fully Implicit ''Backward Euler'' scheme. It is written in portable FORTRAN 90 and makes use of a variety of matrix solving packages to obtain excellent speed in as many platforms as possible.3 Welcome to the '''XNet''' home page. '''XNet''' is a thermonuclear reaction network for astrophysical applications, using the fully Implicit ''Backward Euler'' scheme. It is written in portable FORTRAN 90 and makes use of a variety of matrix solving packages to obtain excellent speed (as much as 50% of peak) on as many platforms as possible. 4 4 5 Someday, I'll make a list of publications using '''XNet''', but that will wait... 5 If you want to learn the basics of how thermonuclear reaction networks function, we recommend the following sources. 6 7 ''Tools and Toys for Nuclear Astrophysics: Nuclear Reaction Network Techniques'' by Frank Timmes, [http://cococubed.asu.edu/talk_pages/jina.shtml] 8 9 ''Thermonuclear Kinetics in Astrophysics'' by Raph Hix and Brad Meyer [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2004.10.009] 10 11 ''Supernovae and Nucleosynthesis: An Investigation of the History of Matter, from the Big Bang to the Present'' by Dave Arnett [http://press.princeton.edu/titles/5859.html] 12 13 Someday, we'll make a list of publications using '''XNet''', but that will wait... 6 14 7 15
