Explore the fascinating world of neutron stars and pulsars in this comprehensive video series. Delve into the formation, structure, and properties of neutron stars, including concepts like neutron degeneracy, quark pressure, and the nuclear strong force. Learn about the upper mass limits of neutron stars, their incredible density and gravity, and the TOV limit. Discover the nature of pulsars, their magnetic fields, and synchrotron radiation. Examine the history of neutron star discovery, the famous Crab Nebula pulsar, and the phenomena of pulsar spin-down and spin-up. Gain a deep understanding of these extreme stellar remnants through 17 detailed lectures covering various aspects of neutron star physics and astronomy.
