Determinations of the radii, redshifts, and atmospheric compositions of neutron stars from modeling their Chandra X-ray spectra

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2003. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 131-139). === Fitting the X-ray spectra of thermal radiation from neutron stars with realistic atmosphere models provides a way to place constraints on their radii, surface gra...
