Invited talk

The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) began science operations from the International Space Station in 2017 July, conducting observations in X-rays (0.4-12 keV) with sub-microsecond time resolution. Accomplishments to date are briefly reviewed for several types of sources. Pulse profiles for rotation-powered millisecond pulsars are modeled to constrain the equation of state of...
