MEASURING NEUTRON STAR RADII VIA PULSE PROFILE MODELING WITH NICER

MEASURING NEUTRON STAR RADII VIA PULSE PROFILE MODELING WITH NICER

The Neutron-star Interior Composition Explorer is an X-ray astrophysics payload that will be placed on the International Space Station. Its primary science goal is to measure with high accuracy the pulse profiles that arise from the non-uniform thermal surface emission of rotation-powered pulsars. M...
