Radius and Mass
Many of the masses of pulsars in binary systems are known to high accuracy from their dynamics, while the masses of solitary pulsars are difficult to obtain. Radii are available from x-ray luminosity where this is known to be thermal. This chapter assembles the known measurements of mass and radius...

Zusammenfassung: | Many of the masses of pulsars in binary systems are known to high accuracy from their dynamics, while the masses of solitary pulsars are difficult to obtain. Radii are available from x-ray luminosity where this is known to be thermal. This chapter assembles the known measurements of mass and radius for all neutron stars. |
