Abstract

The thermomechanical oscillations of a radiating spherical shell are studied. With a reasonable choice of parameters this simple model reproduces the behaviour of X-ray bursters and recurrent novae. Different hypotheses on the radiation pressure are introduced and the problem is studied at the classical and post-newtonian levels.
