40 Years of Pulsars-Millisecond Pulsars, Magnetars and More
A conference celebrating the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the first radio pulsar in the summer of 1967, to be hosted by the pulsar group at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, August 12 - 17, 2007. We will highlight the important discoveries of the last 40 years, address the most interesting and topical areas of neutron star astrophysics today, and look forward to the future of the field.
