SUMMARY:NICER and its view of neutron stars \, Network in Neutrinos\, 
 Nuclear Astrophysics\, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar\, Anna Watts \, U
 niversity of Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:NICER\, the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer\, i
 s an X-ray telescope on the International Space Station. Its primary m
 ission is to measure neutron star masses and radii\, quantities that e
 nable us to investigate the nature of the ultradense nuclear matter in
  the star's cores.   NICER exploits relativistic effects on X-rays emi
 tted from the hot magnetic polar caps of millisecond pulsars\, a techn
 ique that also lets us map the hot emitting regions on the stellar sur
 face.   I will present NICER's latest results and discuss the implicat
 ions for our understanding of ultradense matter and neutron star astro
 physics.<br>\n<br>\nTopic: N3AS online seminar series - Summer 2023 #2
