abstract = {The burning number    b  (  G  ) of a graph    G, introduced by Bonato, is the minimum number of steps to burn the graph, which is a model for the spread of influence in social networks. In 2016, Bonato et al. studied the burning number of paths and cycles, and based on these results, they proposed a conjecture on the upper bound for the burning number. In this paper, we determine the exact value of the burning number of    Q graphs and confirm this conjecture for    Q graph. Following this, we characterize the single tail and double tails    Q graph in term of their burning number, respectively.}
