| Description | Neutron stars, containing typically 1.4 solar masses within a diameter of about 15km, are among the smallest astronomical sources and the densest known form of directly observable matter in the Universe. Many aspects of the neutron star remain poorly understood. Most theoretical models for neutron stars cannot, so far, account for many of the observations, which have been largely made at radio wavelengths. This paper discusses the importance of multiwavelength studies, using large telescopes, to better understand the properties and behaviour of these objects. |
