| Abstract: |
We give an overview about our work on neutron star atmosphere
modeling. The model atmospheres and synthetic spectra are used to
analyse observations of thermal X-ray spectra of central compact
objects in supernova remnants and X-ray bursting neutron stars in
accreting binary systems. The results constrain mass and radius of
neutron stars. Comparing the results to theoretical mass-radius relations
allows to probe the equation of state in the neutron star cores, where
mass densities several times the nuclear density are encountered. |
