Description
In this talk, I will review the main properties of the galactic population of neutron stars, the so-called neutron star zoo. I will focus in particular on the subgroup of isolated stars, such as magnetars, X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINS), and central compact objects in supernova remnants (CCOs).
I will also discuss how different neutron star populations are thought to be interconnected, in particular within a magneto-thermal evolutionary framework.
