Neutron Stars in Binary Systems by G Srinivasan

Explore the fascinating world of neutron stars in binary systems in this comprehensive lecture, part of a summer course on neutron stars and black holes. Delve into the formation and rotational history of these celestial objects, their mergers, and their role in gamma-ray bursts. Learn about the evolution of neutron stars in close binaries and the concept of recycled pulsars. Gain insights into the tests of General Relativity using double neutron star systems and the gravitational radiation emitted during neutron star mergers. This lecture, delivered by G Srinivasan from the Raman Research Institute, is part of a broader series covering topics such as the interior of neutron stars, superfluidity and superconductivity inside neutron stars, and the formation of intermediate mass and supermassive black holes.
