Neutron Stars: From Theory to Observations, From Pulsars to FRBs
Neutron stars are associated with some of the most exotic phenomena and environments in the universe. They have been observed in all electromagnetic wave bands, from radio to gamma rays. Their strong gravities, high densities and magnetic fields provide a unique avenue for exploring physics under extreme conditions. This mini-symposium will cover various observational manifestations of neutron stars, such as pulsars and magnetars, but especially the still enigmatic fast radio bursts. Recent progress on constraining extreme physics (e.g nuclear matter) using neutron stars will also be discussed.
This mini-symposium will include a number of solicited talks, contributed talks and posters. Note that topics related to gravitational waves and accretion processes will be covered in different mini-symposia.
The deadlines for abstract submission and registration are the same as the general symposium, and can be found in texasinshanghai.org
