Description: Neutron stars are prolific sources of broadband non-thermal electromagnetic emission. In recent years we have seen bright millisecond duration fast radio bursts and giant flares from magnetars, X-ray hot spots on millisecond pulsars, and gravitational waves from neutron star mergers. Simultaneously, advances in computational techniques have revolutionized our understanding of electromagnetic emission from neutron star magnetospheres. However, much remains unknown about neutron star interiors, where the physics of matter at super-nuclear densities and ultra-strong magnetic fields are inaccessible to terrestrial experiments. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of experts to discuss new ways of probing the physics of neutron star interiors, while leveraging our understanding of magnetospheric emission and observational constraints.
