    Description

    Radio pulsars are rapidly rotating, highly magnetized neutron stars. This comprehensive book brings together key observational techniques, background information and a review of the latest results, including the recent discovery of a double pulsar system. Useful software tools are provided to analyze example data, made available on a related website. The work will be of great value to graduate students and researchers wishing to carry out and interpret a wide variety of radio pulsar observations.

    • Concise, up-to-date treatment of pulsar research
    • Provides software tools used by astronomers worldwide
    • Constantly updated related website provides access to example data and latest catalogue information
