Description
Precise and reliable measurements of neutron star radii are essential to our understanding of cold, catalyzed matter beyond nuclear saturation density. After reviewing the methodology used to measure these quantities from NICER X-ray, I will present our current mass and radius measurements and discuss their implications for the matter in the cores of neutron stars.
