Basic features of observed Type I X-ray bursts are thought to be interpreted in terms of helium shell-flash near the surface of the accreted neutron stars (Lewin and Joss 1981). Numerical models of the helium shell-flash show that the luminosity grows very close to the Eddingotn luminosity just after the peak of energy generation.
