Dear colleagues,

We have the pleasure to announce NATO Advanced Study Institute
(ASI) meeting on "The Electromagnetic Spectrum of Neutron Stars"
which will take place in Marmaris, located in Southwest of
Turkey during June 7-18, 2004.

In the past the following schools have been held about Neutron
Stars and this ASI will be the next one in this series:
- "Timing Neutron Stars", 1988,
  edited by H. Ogelman and E. van den Heuvel;
- "Neutron Stars: Theory and Observation", 1990,
  edited by J. Ventura and D. Pines;
- "The Lives of the Neutron Stars", 1994,
  edited by M.A. Alpar, U. Kiziloglu, J. van Paradijs;
- "The Many Faces of Neutron Stars", 1996,
  edited by R. Buccheri, J. van Paradijs, M.A. Alpar;
- "The Neutron Star Black Hole Connection", 2000,
  edited by C. Kouveliotou, J. Ventura, E. van den Heuvel.

This school will focus on, in the broadest sense, namely
neutrinos and gravitational radiation along with the
electromagnetic spectrum. The topics of the meeting will
include:
- Formation of Neutron Stars
- Neutron Star Structure and Magnetic Field
- Neutrinos
- Gravitational waves
- Cooling and Atmospheres of Neutron Stars
- Pulsars
- X-ray Binaries and Accretion Powered Pulsars
- Millisecond oscillations
- Gamma Ray Bursts, Magnetars
- Science with current and future X and Gamma-Ray Missions
