Compact Stars : the Quest for New States of Dense Matter - Proceedings of the Kias-Apctp International Symposium on Astro-Hadron Physics.

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 theoretica...
