Relativity Science & Technology
Hardback. Neutron stars are the smallest densest stars known, with densities some trillions of times that of the Earth. They rotate with periods of fractions of a second, and their magnetic fields drive intense interstellar dynamos, lighting up entire nebulae. This text discusses the physics of these extreme objects.
