| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | Neutron stars are the smallest densest stars known, with densities some trillion 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 book discusses the physics of these extreme objects, and reviews the essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and brought up-to-date, with several new sections on Bose condensates in neutron stars and on phase transitions. |
