The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.

The nuclei of most atoms consist of protons and neutrons, which are therefore collectively referred to as nucleons. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of an element. For example, the carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while the carbon-14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

This will be the 7th gathering on neutron star physics in Saint-Petersburg (after those in 1988, 1992, 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001). Its aim is to bring together those who are interested in physics and astrophysics of neutron stars. All subjects relevant to theory and observations of neutron stars are welcome: radiation (from radio to hard gamma-rays), origin, evolution in binary systems, merging, radio pulsars, X-ray pulsars, X-ray bursters, transients, soft gamma repeaters, anomalous X-ray pulsars, internal structure, atmospheres, neutrino emission, etc. The official language of the conference will be Russian, but there may be a few invited talks in English. Abstracts of the talks will be published in English.
