Scientific paper

The method of determining the apparent radius of a neutron star using black-body and modified black-body spectra of X-ray burst emission is discussed. It is argued that a classical stellar atmosphere in hydrostatic and radiative equilibrium represents a better approximation of the emitting regions observed during burst decay. Some results of preliminary calculations of hot neutron-star atmospheres are presented. A possible way to determine both the mass and radius of neutron stars from X-ray burst observations is indicated.
