Neutron Stars and Pulsars (IAU S291): Challenges and Opportunities after 80 Year

Description: Neutron Stars and Pulsars (IAU S291) by Joeri van Leeuwen IAU Symposium 291 communicates the excitement of current pulsar research, combining lively introductory reviews with near-complete coverage of current results from across the electromagnetic spectrum. This volume is the perfect reference for neutron-star researchers and an excellent read for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description IAU Symposium 291 features a rich harvest of recent scientific discoveries and looks forward to the many exciting avenues for future neutron-star research. The volume starts with general, lively, comprehensive introductions to three main themes that successfully communicate the excitement of current pulsar research. The subsequent reviews and contributions on hot topics cover: ongoing searches for pulsars, both radio and gamma-ray; neutron star formation and properties; binary pulsars; pulsar timing and tests of gravitational theories; magnetars; radio transients; radio, X-ray and gamma-ray pulse properties and emission mechanisms; and future facilities. This range of topics clearly illustrates the diverse nature and wide application of neutron-star research. Through a combination of introductory reviews and practically complete coverage of current results from across the electromagnetic spectrum, IAU S291 is the perfect reference for neutron-star researchers and also provides an excellent read for advanced undergraduate and starting graduate students.
