Analyzing the Universe - Course Wiki: Monsters Lurk in the Darkness

This week we explore Cen X-3, so let us take a closer look at neutron stars. For this portion of the wiki we will explore three well written education pages on neutron stars and pulsars. This reading is mandatory and you will be asked questions on the quiz relating to the material.

The Basics:Neutron Stars


The first site I would like you to visit is Professor M. Coleman Miller's page on the basics of neutron stars. You only need to read up to the What the @#$% makes gamma-ray bursts? section.
