Abstract :
Neutron stars provide us with the largest samples of degenerate matter in the
Universe.
Because of
the high density of matter in them, understanding these stars requires input
from numerous
subfields
of physics and I shall begin by showing how their properties may be estimated
from elementary
physical
arguments. Subsequently, I shall describe how the observation within the past
five years
of
neutron stars weighing twice as much as our Sun has made it possible to pin
down much better
the
properties of matter at supranuclear densities.
