JINA-CEE International Symposium on Neutron Stars in the Multi-Messenger Era: Prospects & Challenges
</a>
In May I travelled to Athens, OH for the
JINA-CEE
symposium on neutron
stars.
This was a great week of presentations on a very wide range of astrophysics
topics relating to neutron stars, including my own presentation on
thermonuclear bursts, but also discussions of new & upcoming missions like
NICER and
ASTROSAT,
progress on mass-radius measurements from bursts and cooling
transients, rotation-powered pulsars, gravitational waves, you name it.
The
week kicked off on Sunday with a satellite workshop on
Experiments for X-ray Burst Nucleosynthesis,
where we reviewed the prospects for better experimental constraints on the
many nuclear reactions important to thermonuclear bursts.
A big thank-you to JINA-CEE for supporting my trip!
