Title Compact Stars : Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics and General Relativity Author(s) Glendenning, Norman K Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 1997. Description XIV, 390 p : online resource Abstract Note Neutron stars are the smallest denses stars known, with densities some 1014 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. It includes the needed background in classical general relativity in nuclear and particle physics ISBN,Price 9781468404913 Keyword(s) 1. Astronomy, Observations and Techniques 2.
