Caption: Figure 21.

Kippenhahn plot during two X-ray bursts for the rp_305 net with the solar metallicity accretion model. The x-axis values are times relative to the peak of each burst, note the nonlinearity of the scale. The y-axis values are the column depth and the color coding shows the temperature of the NS envelope. The dashed contours show the extent of the convective regions.
