Abstract
Combining TES detectors with collector optics will also us to study neutron stars in much greater detail by achieving high-energy resolution (1 eV) with much larger collecting areas to uncover even weak spectral features over a wide range of the photon energies. Perhaps we will finally be able to study neutron stars like stars.
