A comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the observation and theory of solitary neutron stars.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The extreme properties of pulsars demand a broad range of physics: the magnetosphere requires plasma physics and electrodynamics whilst the structure and dynamics of the very dense interior need nuclear and condensed matter physics. At the Los Alamos Workshop on Isolated Pulsars recent theoretical and observational advances were presented by international specialists; from this, contributions have been selected to encompass all aspects of pulsar detection and understanding. Observational highlights include results from the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, ROSAT and GINGA, the ASGAT and Whipple Observatory TeV experiments, and the Hubble Space Telescope. Theoretical contributions embody thermal and non-thermal emission mechanisms, properties of dense matter and the generation and evolution of magnetic fields. Together these form a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the observation and theory of isolated neutron stars.
'... a most useful and up-to-date account of the present state of play.' Observatory
'Overall, this book is a nice collection of the latest observations, calculations, and ideas on isolated pulsars.' Science
