Neutron Star is a collection of his well-known "Known Space" short stories. The stories are interesting, feature pretty good prose, and a dazzling and optimistic vision of the future. My main criticism of this collection is that one or two stories drag a bit, primarily "The Soft Weapon."/5(73).

out of 5 stars Neutron Star highly entertaining. Reviewed in Canada on December 2, Verified Purchase. Neutron Star is a fascinating and entertaining collection of stories. Set in "Known Space", it introduces a variety of the themes and races later used or referenced in Mr Niven's Ringworld, the award winning classic.

Puppeteers, Kzin /5(74). Neutron Star is a collection of short stories that are the ground floor for Niven's "Known Space" series. This is a nicely rounded set of stories.

Niven is known as /5. About this book. This self-contained textbook brings together many different branches of physics--e.g. nuclear physics, solid state physics, particle physics, hydrodynamics, relativity--to analyze compact objects.

specialising in compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes. Saul A. Teukolsky is the author of Black Holes, White. Neutron star, any of a class of extremely dense, compact stars thought to be composed primarily of neutrons.

Neutron stars are typically about 20 km (12 miles) in diameter. Their masses range between and times that of the Sun, but most are times that of the Sun. Neutron Stars Like white dwarfs, neutron stars are strongly degenerate compact objects of roughly one solar mass.

But whereas white dwarfs are supported against gravity by the zero-point motion of electrons (electron degeneracy pressure), neutron stars, as the name suggests, consist mostly of neutrons.

Neutron Stars This series provides 30 books for struggling teen and adult readers. The series is structured in levels, offering a progressive reading programme to develop reading skills, although each title can also be used as an individual read.

Neutron Stars book. Read reviews from world’s largest community for readers/5(4). Neutron stars, like black holes, are corpses of stars that died in catastrophic explosions known as supernovas. When a star goes supernova, the. Pulsars are highly magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron stars.

They are also astrophysical laboratories for the study of extreme physics. This wiki-book describes the observational and theoretical research relating to such stars.

There's no doubt that pulsars and neutron stars are intrinsically interesting. Neutron stars cram roughly to solar masses into a city-sized sphere perhaps 20 kilometers (12 miles) across. Matter is packed so tightly that a sugar-cube-sized amount of material would weigh more than 1 billion tons, about the same as Mount Everest.

Astrophysics of Neutron Stars The existence of neutron stars was not only a brilliant theoretical prediction, but also one of the most unexpected and astonishing discoveries of all heavenly bodies. Twenty-five years after the remarkable event of t.

The Question. What is the difference between pulsars and neutron stars?If a pulsar is a neutron star, is every neutron star a pulsar?. The Answer. A pulsar is a rotating neutron star that can produce radiation by spinning its powerful magnetic field through space. (There are also 'accreting pulsars' which funnel matter from a companion star onto their magnetic polar caps as they rotate.).

Neutron stars are one of the most extreme and violent things in the universe. Giant atomic nuclei, only a few kilometers in diameter but as massive as stars.

And they owe their existence to the. Neutron stars play a unique role in physics and astrophysics. On the one hand, they contain matter under extreme physical conditions, and their theories are based on risky and far extrapolations of what we consider reliable physical theories Reviews: 1.

Neutron stars are formed when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses. The very central region of the star – the core – collapses, crushing together every proton and electron into a neutron. If the core of the collapsing star is between about 1 and 3 solar masses, these newly-created neutrons can stop the collapse, leaving behind a neutron star.

The Physics of Neutron Stars Alfred Whitehead PhysicsFall The Problem Describe how a white dwarf evolves into a neutron star. Compute the neutron degeneracy pressure and balance the gravitational pressure with the degeneracy pressure.

Use the Saha equation to determine where the n ↔ p+ + e− equilibrium is below the ’Fermi Sea. Neutron stars are city-size stellar objects with a mass about times that of the sun.

Born from the explosive death of another, larger stars, these tiny objects pack quite a punch. The Discovery of Neutron Stars. InJocelyn Bell, a research student at Cambridge University, was studying distant radio sources with a special detector that had been designed and built by her advisor Antony Hewish to find rapid variations in radio signals.

The project computers spewed out reams of paper showing where the telescope had surveyed the sky, and it was the job of Hewish’s. In her Feb. 3 talk, Dr. Victoria Kaspi of McGill University, explored neutron stars -- mysterious celestial objects can shed light on some of the most vexing questions in.

As others have pointed out, there is a fine SF book with this as its premise. Robert Forward assumed life (very different from us) might develop on the surface of the neutron star itself. Given the very high energies there he assumed that the basi.

This book describes all layers of neutron stars, from the surface to the core, with the emphasis on their structure and equation of state. Theories of dense matter are reviewed, and used to construct neutron star models. Hypothetical strange quark stars and possible exotic phases in neutron star cores are also discussed.

Also covered are the. Neutron Stars A neutron star is the product of the explosive transformation of a massive star. Any star's life is a careful balancing act: the gravity of its own material pulls inward, while pressure from the heat and light produced by the burning of hydrogen into helium in the star's core pushes outward.

A neutron star is the collapsed core of a giant star which before collapse had a total mass of between 10 and 29 solar n stars are the smallest and densest stars, excluding black holes and hypothetical white holes, quark stars, and strange stars.

Neutron stars have a radius on the order of 10 kilometres ( mi) and a mass of about solar masses. Additional Physical Format: Online version: Physics of neutron stars. Commack, N.Y.: Nova Science Publishers, © (OCoLC) Material Type.

Observational manifestations of neutron stars (radio pulsars, X-ray pulsars, transient X-ray sources, X-ray bursters, and gamma-burst sources) are described. The internal structure of neutron stars is considered as well as the gas dynamics of accretion, neutron star classification, accreting neutron stars, ejecting stars, and supercritical conditions.

Basic MHD instabilities are discussed as by: Neutron stars represent natural laboratories where all kinds of processes and reactions take place in unusual and extremely dense matter.

Neutron stars, being the compact objects of close attention for physicists and astronomers, are the sources of strictly periodic pulsed radiation. The main purpose of this book is to investigate processes.

The book gives an extended review of theoretical and observational aspects of neutron star physics. With masses comparable to that of the Sun and radii of about ten kilometres, neutron stars are the densest stars in the Universe.

Neutron stars are one of the evolutionary end points for high-mass stars. After they’ve spent most of their nuclear fuel near the end of their lives, the stars explode in bright supernovas Author: Jason Daley.
