The physics of neutron stars
A. Y. Potekhin (Ioffe Institute)
TL;DR
This paper reviews the fundamental physics, observational features, and microphysical processes of neutron stars, including their structure, magnetic fields, thermal evolution, and measurable properties.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of neutron star physics, integrating observational data with theoretical microphysics insights.
Findings
Neutron stars have complex core and envelope structures.
Magnetic fields significantly influence neutron star behavior.
Thermal evolution models explain observed temperature distributions.
Abstract
Topical problems in the physics of and basic facts about neutron stars are reviewed. The observational manifestations of neutron stars, their core and envelope structure, magnetic fields, thermal evolution, and masses and radii are briefly discussed, along with the underlying microphysics.
