| May 24, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | Sir Cumference | @RobJeffries Yeah, made a mistake by saying "large". I meant the small gaseous atmospheres surrounding neutron stars. | |
| May 24, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | ProfRob | What do you mean by large atmospheres? If you mean the magnetospheres, well the clue is in the name. Gravity is not the only force acting. | |
