Klappentext
Here the reader will find a description of the current stateof experimentaland theoretical investigations of neutronstars in all their manifestations:radio pulsars, X-ray pul-sars, X-ray bursters, transient X-ray sources, andso on.The approach adopted stresses the idea that the astrophysi-cal properties of a neutron star are determinated mainly byits interaction withits surroundings, that is, the inter-action of the intense intrinsic magnetic field of theneutron star with an accreting plasma. Thus the book alsotreats topics in plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics.Students and professionals in astrophysics and physics alikewill find this revised and enlarged version of the originalRussian edition essential reading for its coverage ofneutron star classification and evolution.
