N2  - Since their discovery in 1967, pulsars have assumed a central role in astronomy and astrophysics, offering an opportunity to explore theoretical physics under extreme conditions. Pulsar Astronomy provides an ideal introductory account for those entering the field, and an invaluable reference for established researchers. Now thoroughly revised for its third edition, it covers research over wavelengths ranging from radio through optical and x-ray to gamma-rays. Topics range from the physics of neutron star interiors to the astrophysics of binary stars and the recent tests of general relativity. It is supported by extensive references and a complete catalogue of all known pulsars.

Internationally famous authors – Lyne has discovered more pulsars than anyone in the world, and Graham-Smith is one of the founders of the field
Includes a complete and up-to-date catalogue of all known pulsars
Complete revision of a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers
The only up-to-date text covering this wide field
Covers research at all wavelengths (radio, optical, x-ray, gamma-ray)
