Published in Advancing Astrophysics with the SKA II (AASKAII), 2026 (arXiv:2606.20366). Report number AASKAII/Levin01. Advancing Astrophysics with the SKA II (AASKAII) outlines the transformative scientific advances that will be enabled by the SKA telescopes. An earlier version of this chapter was published in The Open Journal of Astrophysics with arXiv ID: arXiv:2512.16156
The known population of non-accreting neutron stars is ever growing and currently consists of more than 3500 sources. Pulsar surveys with the SKAO telescopes will greatly increase the known population, adding radio pulsars to every subgroup in the radio-loud neutron star family. These discoveries will not only add to the current understanding of neutron star physics by increasing the known sample, but will undoubtedly also uncover new types of sources that will challenge our theories of a wide range of physical phenomena. A broad variety of scientific studies will be made possible by a significantly increased population of neutron stars, unravelling questions such as: How do isolated pulsars evolve with time; What is the connection between magnetars, high B-field pulsars, and the newly discovered long-period pulsars; How is a pulsar's spin-down related to its radio emission; What is the nuclear equation of state? Increasing the numbers of pulsars in binary systems enables both larger numbers and higher precision tests of gravitational theories and general relativity, as well as probing the neutron star mass distribution. The excellent sensitivity of the SKAO telescopes combined with the wide field of view, large numbers of simultaneous tied-array beams that will be searched in real time, wide range of observing frequencies, and the ability to form multiple sub-arrays will make the SKAO an excellent facility for neutron star research. This chapter presents an overview of different types of neutron stars and discusses how the SKAO will aid in our understanding of the neutron star population.

蟹状星云脉冲星(PSR B 0531 +21)的光学识别已经过去了40年,现在已经识别出25颗不同类型的孤立中子星。欧洲南方天文台的望远镜在天文台的光学研究中发挥了关键作用,首先是拉西拉天文台的3.6米望远镜和新技术望远镜(NTT),1998年之后是帕拉纳尔天文台的甚大望远镜(VLT)。在这篇综述中,我总结了十年来孤立中子星的VLT观测中获得的一些最重要的结果。
