Description

Neutron Stars: The Quest to Understand the Zombies of the Cosmos

Astronomers have long been fascinated by these enigmatic objects, remnants of exploded stars that defy explanation. With their incredible density and magnetic fields, neutron stars are among the most powerful phenomena in the universe.

This book takes readers on a journey to the frontiers of astronomy, from observatories around the world to the latest research on colliding neutron stars and fast radio bursts. Katia Moskvitch explores how these cosmic objects have advanced our understanding of dark matter, black holes, and the origins of heavy elements.
