Unlocking Secrets of Neutron Stars with NICER


Topics
NASA
Though we know neutron stars are small and extremely dense, there are still 

many aspects of these remnants of explosive deaths of other stars that we 

have yet to understand. NICER, a facility to be mounted on the outside of the 

International Space Station, seeks to find the answers to some of the 

questions still being asked about neutron stars. By capturing the arrival 

time and energy of the x-ray photons produced by pulsars emitted by neutron 

stars, NICER seeks answer decades-old questions about extreme forms of matter 

and energy. Data from NICER will also be used in Sextant, an on-board 

demonstration of pulsar-based navigation.
