SUMMARY:CGCA Seminar - Prof. Sharon Morsink
DESCRIPTION:The masses and radii of the neutron stars observed by NICER\nProf. Sharon Morsink\nUniversity of Alberta \nNeutron stars are the densest known gravitationally-stable objects in the Universe. Their strong gravitational fields\, rapid rotation rates\, and supra-nuclear central densities allow for a fascinating interplay between general relativistic effects and nuclear physics theory. Pulse-profile modeling is a technique that uses the gravitationally-lensed X-ray flux emitted from hot spots on the neutron star’s surface to infer its mass and radius. General relativity is a crucial ingredient in this analysis. The Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) is a NASA X-ray telescope mounted on the International Space Station. NICER is a timing instrument designed to make the measurements required to implement pulse-profile modelling. In this talk\, I will give an overview of how NICER data is used to infer a neutron star’s radius (and its mass)\, along with the latest results and future observations of other pulsars.
