在过去的40年里，通过脉冲星天文学可以接触到一系列惊人的天体物理学。关于这一快速发展的研究领域的文献很多，现在观测技术涵盖了整个电磁频谱。现在在它的第四版，这本权威的卷提供了对该领域的全面介绍。它从头到尾都被广泛修订，新材料包括：双星脉冲星的天体测量和相对论；毫秒脉冲星；脉冲星和磁星的起源和银河系人口；以及从无线电到伽马射线的脉冲发射。在每个主题中，作者专注于基础物理学，并列出了广泛的参考文献，从最初的发现到最新的进展。还推荐了已知脉冲星目录的网站，为新的研究工作提供了基础。脉冲星天文学发展的快速步伐使这本书成为进入该领域的高级学生和知名研究人员的基本读物。
Over the last 40 years, an astonishing range of astrophysics has become accessible through pulsar astronomy. The body of literature on this rapidly growing research area is vast and observational techniques now cover the whole of the electromagnetic spectrum. Now in its fourth edition, this authoritative volume gives a thorough introduction to the field. It is extensively revised throughout and new material includes: astrometry of binary pulsars and relativity theory; millisecond pulsars; the origin and Galactic population of pulsars and magnetars; and the pulsed emission from radio to gamma-rays. Within each topic, the authors concentrate on the fundamental physics and list extensive references, spanning from first discoveries to the most recent advances. Websites for catalogues of known pulsars are also recommended, providing a basis for new research work. The rapid pace of progress in pulsar astronomy makes this essential reading both for advanced students entering the field and established researchers.
