DESCRIPTION:Speakers: M. Coleman Miller (University of Maryland)\n\nPrecis
 e and reliable measurements of neutron star radii and other properties are
  essential to our understanding of cold\, catalyzed matter beyond nuclear 
 saturation density.  Over the last fifteen years\, measurements of high-m
 ass neutron stars\, gravitational waves from the double neutron star merge
 r GW170817\, and X-ray observations have dramatically improved our underst
 anding of neutron star structure.  In particular\, NASA's Neutron star In
 terior Composition Explorer (NICER) satellite has provided high-quality da
 ta sets that have yielded published measurements of the mass and radius of
  several neutron stars.  I will discuss our group's analyses of these pul
 sars and will in particular discuss our assumptions and potential systemat
 ic errors\, to help in the assessment of our work.  I will also discuss t
 he implications of our results\, combined with other observations\, for th
 e properties of the dense matter in the cores of neutron stars.\n \n\n\nh
