Abstract: | There are 109±0.5 neutron stars in the Galaxy. They are born in supernova explosions. Isolated neutron stars are observed as (radio-)pulsars, in some cases also as γ-ray pulsars and as IR-, optical and X-ray pulsars. Binary neutron stars, when accreting mass from their companion, become flickering, periodic and/or bursting X-ray sources, and probably also γ-ray bursters. They may all derive from binary star systems. The masses of population-I-neutron stars are compatible with (1.4 ±0.2)M ⊙; their surface magnetic fields fall almost exclusively within 1012.2 and 1013.2 Gauss (at birth). The radii of population-II-neutron stars are (10 -3 +6 )km. Even in exotic sources like SS 433 and Cyg X-1, the compact core may well be a neutron star. |
