SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS OF NEUTRON STAR MASSES AND RADII FROM THERMONUCLEAR X-RAY BURSTS. III. ABSOLUTE FLUX CALIBRATION
Many techniques for measuring neutron star radii rely on absolute flux measurements in the X-rays.As a result, one of the fundamental uncertainties in these spectroscopic measurements arises from the absolute flux calibrations of the detectors being used.Using the stable X-ray burster, GS 1826-238, and its simultaneous observations by Chandra HETG/ACIS-S …
