Description

Here we briefly review several aspects of the physics of neutron stars.In particular, we shortly describe the different types of telescopes employed in their observation, the many astrophysical manifestations of these objects and the measurement of observables such as their masses and radii. A brief summary of their composition, structure equations and equation of state is also presented.
