NICER

iss069e020459 (Jun. 13, 2023) --- The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) investigation studies the nature and behavior of neutron stars or pulsars, black holes, and other scientifically significant targets. X-ray radiation measurements collected by NICER revealed similarities in two separate outbursts from a pulsar in 2006 and 2020. Further monitoring and analysis of these emissions could provide a better understanding of the star’s nature and evolution.
