Neutron stars are the compact remnants of massive stars which are left behind when such stars terminate their life in a supernova explosion. The extreme physical conditions in/near neutron stars are impossible to imitate in any laboratory on Earth and make these compact objects ideal for studying the fundamental nature of physics – e.g. neutron stars host the densest matter in the observable universe, possess the strongest electromagnetic fields and are excellent probes of strong-field gravity. Many neutron stars are found in binary systems with a companion star leading to exotic interactions affecting their formation in supernovae, mass transfer and emission of X-rays, the recycling process to millisecond pulsars, and their evolution as gravitational wave sources and mergers. This conference will gather world leading experts for a dedicated and lively meeting on new ideas in neutron star astrophysics.
Registration for this conference is closed by now, but a number of seats are available for locals interested in attending the conference for just one day. Please contact Thomas Tauris (tauris@phys.au.dk) regarding participation for one day.
All pre-registered attendees have received a final registration link via email. To receive the link again, please contact Thomas Sejer Canham at thomas@aias.au.dk

Two visits to the the following excursions sites in Aarhus are planned:
Moesgaard Museum (MOMU): a prehistory and ethnographic museum of international calibre. At MOMU, prehistory is presented innovatively in a breathtaking architectural setting.
The Old Town (Den Gamle By): a national open-air museum of urban history and culture in Denmark and with Living history.
