[IMPORTANT NOTICE]
Please ignore any emails regarding the workshop from travel agencies or other companies that are not from the organizers or YITP, as we do not request accommodation support from any company (9 Oct. 2024).
You need a YITP Indico account to submit an abstract or register for participation. You can easily create one, but it takes several days for approval. See detail for this page (4 Nov. 2024).
[Scope of This Workshop]
The primary focus of this workshop is on the various “evolutions” of neutron stars, exploring the intersection of astrophysics theory and observation, as well as the connections to fundamental microphysics, including nuclear physics.
The specific themes of the workshop will include the long-term thermal evolution of neutron stars, their evolution in binary star systems (e.g., X-ray bursts, neutron star mergers), the evolution of matter in the universe (e.g., nucleosynthesis), and various other aspects of cosmic/galactic evolution. Additionally, we will explore future research possibilities in astronomy, nuclear physics, and fundamental physics through the lens of neutron star studies.
