About 40 years ago pulses of radio waves were detected from very tiny objects now known as neutron stars. Neutron stars are only about 20 miles in diameter, about the size of Los Alamos County, but are more massive than our sun. This discovery had been anticipated decades earlier by theoretical physicists, who combined basic facts about the nature of gravity with fundamental properties of matter predicted by quantum mechanics. This talk will discuss the fascinating physics of matter at extreme density and the role neutron stars play in some of the most spectacular astrophysical phenomena in the universe.
