Description
Long X-ray bursts (XRBs) are rare events, which are only <1% of ordinary XRBs.
Although long XRBs as well as ordinary XRBs are interpreted as thermonuclear
runaway on neutron stars, their fuel or ignition conditions are still open to debate.
In addition, there are some observations which indicate interactions between bursts
and accretion disks. This talk will summarize recent observations of long XRBs and
discussions about them.
