Description

Neutron stars are stellar compact objects some ten kilometers in radius which contain the most dens form of matter observable in the universe. Their astonishing richness of structure and diversity of behavior at extreme conditions continues to surprise and delight the scientific community. The Structure and Evolution of Neutron Stars offers an overview of our present understanding of the internal structure and dynamical behavior of neutron stars, as well as their formation and evolution.
