Isolated neutron stars and studies of their interiors
arXiv:1111.1158 · doi:10.1134/S154747711207014X
Abstract
In these lectures presented at Baikal summer school on physics of elementary particles and astrophysics 2011, I present a wide view of neutron star astrophysics with special attention paid to young isolated compact objects and studies of the properties of neutron star interiors using astronomical methods.
