Neutron stars are the smallest dense stars known, with densities some 1014 times that of Earth. This text discusses the physics of these extreme objects and includes the needed background in classical general relativity in nuclear and particle physics.

This book effectively combines Special and General Relativity with key elements of nuclear and particle physics. It includes problem sets for various chapters, making it suitable for courses focused on the physics of white dwarf and neutron star interiors.
