Voices :: Weinberg and Team Aim to Build Models of Neutron Star X-Ray Bursts

UTA Astrophysicist Nevin Weinberg has received a grant from the
National Science Foundation to help lead a study of the explosive
phenomena of X-Ray bursts in order to better understand Neutron
Stars and a variety of physics principles. The three-year award
from the NSF’s division of astronomical sciences pairs Weinberg’s
research group with researchers from the University of Virginia
in a study titled “Spectral and Radiation Hydrodynamic Models of
Photospheric Radius Expansion X-Ray Bursts.” Weinberg describes
X-Ray bursts, neutron stars and the scope of research being done
in this edition of Voices - thoughts from Maverick Scientists
leading the charge to innovate, discover and learn.
