Sommario/riassunto

Space observations are currently providing a glimpse of various new states of matter possibly present in compact stars, with terrestrial laboratories producing compelling evidence in support. The aim of this book is to facilitate the exchange of ideas - both established and emergent, both theoretical and experimental - in the areas of the physics of neutrinos, dense hadronic matter and compact stars.  The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:   Index to Scientific & Technical ProceedingsĀ® (ISTPĀ® / ISI Proceedings)   Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / I
