Astrophysics of neutron stars 2010: a conference in honor of M. Ali Alpar: Çeşme, İzmir, Turkey, 2-6 August 2010
Researchers who work in the field of high energy astrophysics. Faculty members, researchers and graduate students who work at physics and astronomy departments in the field of high energy astrophysics. This volume covers several aspects of the astrophysics of collapsed bodies, both isolated (supernova remnants, radio pulsars, cooling neutron stars, soft-gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars) and in binary systems (accreting millisecond pulsars, X-ray pulsars, low-mass X-ray binaries). The resulting collection of articles offers a broad view onto the current status of the astrophysics of neutron stars, together with insight onto future prospects.
