- Title
Astrophysics: Weighing in on neutron stars.
- Authors
Miller, M. Coleman
- Abstract
The article presents the author's views on a study which reported the measurements of a neutron star with greater mass compared to previous research. It explores the methodology used by the researchers in the study which include a felicitous orientation of the binary system, a millisecond pulsar and extreme timing stability. It also notes its findings which include the presence of a high gravitational mass and densities of about 2-10 for the neutron-star cores.
