The accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar and low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1814-338. Claims about its pulsations, thermonuclear bursts and burst oscillations, orbit and companion, and inferred mass, radius, or magnetic field belong here.

The pulsar XTE J1814-338 has an inferred radius of about 7 km, smaller than neutron star models predict
