Neutron stars are a very diverse population, both in their observational and their physical properties. They prefer to radiate most of their energy at X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths. But whether their emission is powered by rotation, accretion, heat, magnetic fields or nuclear reactions, they are all different species of the same animal whose magnetic field evolution and interior composition remain a mystery. This article will broadly review the properties of inhabitants of the neutron star zoo, with emphasis on their high-energy emission.

    Numerical modeling with GALPROP predicts CTAO detectability of gamma rays from SNR G296.5+10.0 and CCO 1E 1207.4-5209 at 5 sigma after 50 hours, with hadronic processes dominating at lower energies and leptonic at higher.
