The advent of moderately high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Chandra andXMM promised to usher in a new age in the study of neutron stars: we thought wewould study neutron stars like stars, with resolved absorption spectrarevealing their surface chemical composition and physical conditions (e.g.surface gravity, pressure, temperature). Nature, however, did not cooperate inthis endeavor, as observations of neutron stars have not revealed verifiedatomic absorption lines yet. In the near future, advancements intransition-edge sensors (TES) technology will allow forelectron-volt-resolution spectroscopy combined with nanoseconds-precisiontiming. Combining these detectors with collector optics will also us to studyneutron stars in much greater detail by achieving high-energy resolution withmuch larger collecting areas to uncover even weak spectral features over a widerange of the photon energies. Perhaps we will finally be able to study neutronstars like stars.
