Abstract

The last few years have seen new opportunities for constraining the physics of neutron star interiors. I will first discuss the current state of neutron star radius measurements and then go on to discuss thermal tomography as a probe of the nuclear, magnetic, and transport properties of neutron star crusts. In each case, I will emphasize the astrophysics that must be understood to make reliable inferences about the properties of dense matter from observations of neutron stars.
