Neutron stars are gold mines for the study of nuclear systems under
extreme conditions of density and isospin asymmetry. Spanning many
orders of magnitude in density and pressure, neutron stars display
exotic phases that cannot be realised under normal laboratory
conditions. Whereas the most common perception of a neutron star is
that of a uniform system of neutrons packed to densities that may
exceed that of normal nuclei, the reality is far more complex and
much more interesting. To illustrate this more exciting reality,
the editors of this book contacted leaders in the field of
neutron-star physics with expertise ranging from nuclear structure
to stellar dynamics. They asked each expert to communicate the
successes of the past and the challenges of the future in a way
that will continue to foster dialogue and promote collaborations
between the astrophysics and the nuclear physics communities.
