Constraining the Neutron Star Mass-Radius Relation and Dense Matter Equation of State with NICER. I. The Millisecond Pulsar X-Ray Data Set

<p>This deposit includes the cleaned, filtered and phase folded NICER event data set for the millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR J0030+0451 in the 0.25-3 keV band. The data processing and filtering was performed using HEASoft 6.251 and NICERDAS version 5.0; the specific parameters and filtering criteria used are detailed in the ApJ Letter listed above. This event list was used to produce what is shown for PSR J0030+0451 in Figures 2, 3, and 4 in the accepted ApJ Letter listed above and was also used for the neutron star mass-radius and equation of state inference analyses presented in the companion papers (Miller et al. 2019, Riley et al. 2019, and Raaijmakers et al. 2019).</p> <p>The event file and its MD5 checksum is:<br> J0030+0451_merged_phase_0.25-3keV.fits (463bbac7203bb45bb02ea0deed49f083)<br> &nbsp;</p>
