Sommario/riassunto

This book aims at providing an accessible, and yet comprehensive and self-contained discussion of compact stars. After a pedagogical introduction to the physics of white dwarfs, the bulk of the book is devoted to the analysis of the structure and dynamics of neutron stars. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the dynamical models underlying the description of neutron star matter at microscopic level. The analysis of these models is inherently cross-disciplinary - from nuclear and particle physics to astrophysics and condensed matter physics and the relevant concepts are introduced following a didactic approach, drawing largely on the historical development of the field. The impact of the latest experimental data, such as gravitational waves emissions, and the potential of future observational developments in the new era of multimessenger astronomy are extensively discussed. This volume is intended to provide PhD students in physics and astrophysics with solid foundations for their future research career. It is also a useful tool for the broader audience of more advanced readers, working in the fields of nuclear and particle physics as well as gravitational physics.

Sommario/riassunto

Annäherung und Abgrenzung prägten in den Jahren zwischen 1956 und 1969 das innerdeutsche Verhältnis. Schritt für Schritt entfernte sich die DDR von ihrer ursprünglichen gesamtdeutschen Strategie zugunsten einer klaren Abgrenzungspolitik. Parallel dazu löste in der Bundesrepublik der Wunsch nach einem "geregelten Nebeneinander" die Hoffnungen auf eine baldige Wiedervereinigung ab. Der Band behandelt zwei wichtige Aspekte dieser Entwicklung: die jahrelangen Bemühungen um einen Dialog zwischen FDP und LDPD und die "Westarbeit" der SED. Die Darstellung beruht nicht nur auf den seit der deutschen Einigung zugänglich gewordenen Quellen, auch Akteure und



Zeugen der damaligen Vorgänge wurden systematisch befragt.
