Neutron stars (NSs) are some of the densest objects in the universe. In this thesis, I focus on studying X-ray thermal emission from neutron stars, using X-ray observations of different varieties of NSs. X-ray observations can put constraints on the mass and radius of NSs, and thus on density and...

We present the first combined optical/X-ray observation of a very faint transient X-ray binary (VFXT), M15 X-3. Chandra observations constrain the source to be < 10^34 erg/s in all observations. The X-ray spectrum shows evidence of curvature, and is best fit by a broken power law with break...
