The Lives of the Neutron Stars: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute

Description: The Lives of the Neutron Stars by M.H. Alpar, Ü. Kizilogammalu, Jan van Paradijs As the field has developed, with the number of observed neutron stars rapidly in creasing, and our knowledge of many individual neutron stars getting deeper and more detailed, an evolutionary picture of neutron stars has started to emerge. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description As the most compact known observable form of matter, neutron stars offer a fascinating range of problems to astrophysicists. This text offers a collection of reviews of current research on neutron stars, variously observed as radio pulsars, X-ray binaries, gamma-ray sources and sources of thermal X-ray emission. The reviews are meant for an audience of graduate students and scientists in the field, so they combine a tutorial approach with the objectives of a scientific review. The central theme of the book is evolution, stressing the changes of thermal, magnetic and dynamical properties throughout the lives of neutron stars.
