ABSTRACT:

Astrophysicists distinguish between three types of compact stars —
white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. These objects possess
most unusual properties which carry information about the fundamental
building blocks of matter, the properties of the strong interaction in
ultra-dense matter, and even of the structure of space-time
itself. This makes compact stars superb astrophysical laboratories for
a broad range of exciting physical/numerical studies, as shown in this
talk.
