内容简介

This book explores cataclysmic variables with and without strong, overpowering magnetic fields. This title helps you read about stars with densities ranging from that of the Sun to the degenerate matter of white dwarfs to the ultra-compact states of neutron stars and black holes. One of the objects examined and discussed is the Double Pulsar, highlighting what observations have told us about fundamental physics.
