We study neutron stars in different aspects. We consider different physical processes related to superdense matter in neutron star interiors, surface layers, atmospheres, magnetospheres, superstrong magnetic fields; we construct plausible theoretical models for interpretation of observations of neutron stars in multiwavelength bands. In particular, we study isolated cooling neutron stars, radio and X-ray pulsars, gamma and X-ray bursters and Soft Gamma Repeaters. The main projects we are working on now are:

• Internal structure and thermal evolution of isolated neutron stars.
• Physical processes in cores and envelopes of neutron stars.
• Evolution of magnetic fields of neutron stars.
• Thermal emission from the atmospheres of neutron stars.
• Electrodynamics of neutron stars and their magnetospheres.
