Towards a consistent model for Neutron-Star Sources

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We are still far from understanding how pulsars pulse, how neutron stars are born, what neutron stars can emit, and in which way they do this. In this short communication, I list 18 alternatives -- several of them old, a few of them new -- which are handled differently by different authors but all of which are crucial for a model of neutron stars to be viable.
