Structure of neutron star P(τ) ρ(τ) T(τ) Flux = const Radiation transfer equation Spectrum Flux ≠const Temperature correction
Assumptions • Plane-parallel atmosphere( local model) • Radiative equilibrium( energy transported solely by radiation ) • Equation of state is ideal gas( ionized H) • Neglect conduction and convection • Hydrostatics • No magnetic field • The physical properties independent of time
Structure of NS • Gray atmosphere • Equation of state • Oppenheimer-Volkoff
Structure of NS • Rosseland mean
