Astronomers investigate spectral evolution of XTE J1810–189

Using the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) onboard the International Space Station (ISS), European astronomers have performed spectral analysis of a low-mass X-ray binary known as XTE J1810–189. Results of the study, available in a research paper published September 13 on the preprint server arXiv, shed more light on the spectral evolution of this system.
