AST-0098436MillerObservations of neutron stars are a principal way of investigating the properties of ultra-high density matter at densities several times that of the atomic nucleus. This research program of Dr. Cole Miller, at the University of Maryland, is directed towards a careful analysis of timing and spectral data from the brightness oscillations seen during X-ray bursts, The ultimate aims of the project are to constrain the equation of state and to understand thermonuclear propagation in neutron stars. Observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite, the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European X-ray Multi-Mirror satellite will be analyzed during the course of the project.***

中子星观测是研究密度数倍于原子核的超高密度物质性质的主要方法。马里兰大学的科尔·米勒博士的这项研究项目旨在仔细分析X射线爆发期间亮度振荡的时间和光谱数据，该项目的最终目的是约束状态方程并了解中子星中的热核传播。在项目过程中，将分析用Rossi X射线定时探测器卫星、钱德拉X射线天文台和欧洲X射线多镜卫星进行的观测。
