Measuring the basic parameters of neutron stars using model atmospheres

Werner, K.; Klochkov, D.; Poutanen, J. +1 more

Model spectra of neutron star atmospheres are nowadays widely used to fit the observed thermal X-ray spectra of neutron stars. This fitting is the key element in the method of the neutron star radius determination. Here, we present the basic assumptions used for the neutron star atmosphere modeling as well as the main qualitative features of the s…
