text: Spinor condensates are degenerate Bose gases that have degrees of freedom arising from the internal spin of the constituent particles 
  They are described by a multi-component (spinor) order parameter.
  Since their initial experimental realisation,
  a wealth of studies have appeared, both
  experimental and theoretical, focusing
  on the physical properties of spinor condensates, including their 
  ground states,  non-equilibrium dynamics, and
  vortices.
