Mass and radius constraints for neutron stars using the cooling tail method

Neutron stars (NS) are the most compact objects that can be directly observed. They can be used to study properties of matter at supranuclear densities. This in turn gives us information to separate between numerous theoretical equations of states of dense matter. Thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts...
