中子星的存在不仅是一个辉煌的理论预言，也是所有天体中最意想不到和最惊人的发现之一。中子星是银河系中密度最大、磁化最强、旋转最快的天体，在它们被发现的非凡事件发生25年后，它们仍然是人们强烈兴趣的对象。这本书是俄文原版的修订和扩大版。在过去五年中，在最近的星系中发现了一颗超新星，并发现了数十个X射线源和毫秒级超新星，这显然证实了这些发现背后的基本思想的正确性。作者集中讨论了中子星的天体物理学表现，人们认为这主要与它们与周围环境相互作用的性质有关。当然，这种方法没有留下太多的空间来详细描述这些恒星的内部结构。幸运的是，SL夏皮罗和SA Teukolsky（黑洞，白色矮星，和中子星，威利，纽约1985）有一个优秀的专着，主要涉及纯物理问题。此外，在西方出版这样一本书，在一定程度上弥补了苏联科学家在这一领域所做工作信息的缺乏。
The existence of neutron stars was not only a brilliant theoretical prediction, but also one of the most unexpected and astonishing discoveries of all heavenly bodies. Twenty-five years after the remarkable event of their discovery, neutron stars, which are the densest, the most strongly magnetized, and the most rapid ly rotating bodies in the Galaxy, remain objects of intense interest. This book is a revised and enlarged version of the original Russian edition. The last five years were marked by the discovery of a supernova in the closest galaxy and dozens of X-ray sources and millisecond pulsars, which apparently confirm the validity of the basic ideas underlying these discoveries. The author has concentrated on the astrophysical manifestations of neutron stars, which are believed mainly to be associated with the nature of their interaction with their surroundings. Naturally, this approach does not leave much room for a detailed description of the internal structure of these stars. Fortunately, there exists an excellent monograph by SL Shapiro and SA Teukolsky (Black Holes, White Dwarfs, and Neutron Stars, Wiley, New York 1985) which deals mainly with the purely physical problems. Moreover, the publication of such a book in the West partly makes amends for the lack of information about the work being done by Soviet scientists in this field.
