> 
> We present an investigation of the mass and radius of the nearby
> compact object RX J1856-3754.
> This is the closest isolated neutron star  (60 pc) and might represent
> the first oportunity to observe
> thermal emission from the surface of a compact object, without
> complications due to magnetosphere
> physics and accretion disks. The implications on the Equation of State
> of dense matter are discussed.
