How Do We Measure Neutron Star Radii Without EOS Assumptions?
Graduate student Chun Huang was recently interviewed by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) about his latest research on neutron star radii. His study, Equation of State Independent Determination on the Radius of a 1.4 M Neutron Star Using Mass–Radius Measurements, presents a novel, data-driven approach to determining neutron star sizes without relying heavily on specific equation-of-state (EOS) models. By analyzing observations from Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, this method reduces systematic uncertainties and offers a new approach for future observational efforts in neutron star astrophysics.
