Conversation article on weighing a neutron star

August 1, 2024

A recent ADAP covered the combining of X-ray and radio data to accurately determine the mass of a neutron star. This work has been described in an article in The Conversation by Daniel Reardon of Swinburne University of Technology, which describes how observations with Murriyang, the Parkes radio-telescope, contributed to determining the mass and radius of the nearby pulsar PSR J0437-4715.
