Abstract The effect of gravitational redshift on the blackbody radii, as deduced from the tails of X-ray bursts, is considered. Observed values of blackbody radii put an upper limit to the mass and constrain the mass-radius relations of neutron stars. Possible consequences for the equation of state of high-density matter are briefly discussed.
