This book contains a set of articles based on a session of the
annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science held in San Francisco in February, 1974. The reason for the
meeting arose from the need to communicate to the largest possible
scientific community the dramatic advances which have been made in
recent years in the understanding of collapsed objects: neutron
stars and black holes. Thanks to an unprecedented resonance between
X-ray, y-ray, radio and optical astronomy and important new
theoretical developments in relativistic astro physics, a new deep
understanding has been acquired of the physical processes oc
curring in the late stages of evolution of stars. This knowledge
may be one of the greatest conquests of man's understanding of
nature in this century. This book aims to give an essential and
up-to-date view in this field. The analysis of the physics and
astrophysics of neutron stars and black holes is here attacked from
both theoretical and experimental points of view. In the
experimental field we range from the reviews and catalogues of
galactic X-ray sources (R. Gursky and E. Schreier) and pulsars (E.
Groth) to the observations of the optical counter part of X-ray
sources (P. Boynton) to finally the recently discovered gamma-ray
bursts (I. Strong) and pulse astronomy R. B. Partridge)."
