论文摘要
中子星是现代物理多个分支的丰富实验室。这些包括引力物理学,核和粒子物理,(量子)电动力学以及血浆天体物理学。在本章中,我们介绍了我们对中子恒星的理解所基于的开创性理论研究和关键的历史观察。然后,我们讨论了中子星作为物理学基本理论的探针。
Neutron stars are rich laboratories of multiple branches of modern physics. These include gravitational physics, nuclear and particle physics, (quantum) electrodynamics, and plasma astrophysics. In this chapter, we present the pioneering theoretical studies and the pivotal historical observations on which our understanding of neutron stars is based on. Then, we discuss the usage of neutron stars as probes of fundamental theories of physics.
