Proposed advanced theory of mainstream pulsars being oscillatory and powered by gravitational contraction, rather than rotary.

A tutorial from the Australia Telescope National Facility, Parkes, New South Wales

An interactive archive of neutron star atmosphere models, for advanced students and researchers.

Features images simulating the collision of two neutron stars.

Detailed simulations of binary neutron star collisions, including stills from the movies at different time steps.

This site offers a non-technical discussion about black holes and neutron stars. Topics include what they are, how they form, how we detect them, FAQs and a links page.

Listing of over 200 supernova remnants.

An accessible introduction to neutron stars that includes details on their life cycles as well as detailed information on neutron star variants such as x-ray and gamma ray bursters.

A tutorial on radio pulsars and "The Sounds of Pulsars"

As one of the research groups of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, we form part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Manchester, in the United Kingdom. We have many collaborations with other research groups across the world and, in particular, with the ATNF with whom we are the main partners in the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey

A personal account by Jocelyn Bell Burnell on the discovery of pulsars.

Includes a small collection of neutron star images and other resources.

Overview of what is known about neutron stars, including a discussion of X-ray bursters.

This site provides a concise definition and description of neutron stars. Suitable for university students.

Brief page containing basic characteristics of neutron stars and how they were discovered.

Brief look at the evidence connecting neutron stars with supernovae.

An accessible summary of neutron stars and X-ray binaries, presented by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Includes a comprehensive Q&A section and a selection of quality images.

Princeton University's site on pulsars, including a definition of pulsars, multimedia and telescopic images, and links to other web data.

Provides technical descriptions of pulsars - focussing on neutron stars, gamma ray pulsars and polar cap or outer gap gamma-ray emission.

Radio pulsar abstracts published by the University of Sydney's Research Centre for Theoretical Astrophysics.

Scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found new evidence that a pulsar in the constellation of Sagittarius was created when a massive star exploded, witnessed by Chinese astronomers in the year 386 AD.

Includes short summaries on neutron stars, including information on pulsars, neutron degeneracy, pulsar examples, binary pulsars and planets around pulsars. This information links to a useful navigable 'mind map' dealing with concepts in physics.

Ever wonder what it would look like to travel to a black hole or neutron star?

A typical neutron star is the size of a small city, but it may have the mass of as many as three suns.
