The Masses of Neutron Stars [PDF]
We present in this article an overview of the problem of neutron star masses. After a brief appraisal of the methods employed to determine the masses of neutron stars in binary systems, the existing sample of measured masses is presented, with a highlight on some very well-determined cases.

Neutron stars in the laboratory [PDF]
Neutron stars are astrophysical laboratories of many extremes of physics. Their rich phenomenology provides insights into the state and composition of matter at densities which cannot be reached in terrestrial experiments. Since the core of a mature neutron star is expected to be dominated by superfluid and superconducting components, observations ...

Constraint on the maximum mass of neutron stars using GW170817 event [PDF]
We revisit the constraint on the maximum mass of cold spherical neutron stars coming from the observational results of GW170817. We develop a new framework for the analysis by employing both energy and angular momentum conservation laws as well as solid ...

Rapidly rotating neutron stars in $$f(R,T)=R+2 \lambda T$$ f ( R , T ) = R + 2 λ T gravity
In this work, we study the influence of f(R, T) gravity on rapidly rotating neutron stars. First we discuss the main aspects of this modified theory of gravity where the gravitational Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R and of the ...

Masses, Radii, and the Equation of State of Neutron Stars [PDF]
We summarize our current knowledge of neutron-star masses and radii. Recent instrumentation and computational advances have resulted in a rapid increase in the discovery rate and precise timing of radio pulsars in binaries in the past few years, leading ...

The Mass Distribution of Galactic Double Neutron Stars [PDF]
The conventional wisdom, dating back to 2012, is that the mass distribution of Galactic double neutron stars (DNSs) is well-fit by a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 1.33 M⊙ and a width of 0.09 M⊙.

Multi-Wavelength Polarimetry of Isolated Neutron Stars
Isolated neutron stars are known to be endowed with extreme magnetic fields, whose maximum intensity ranges from 10 12 – 10 15 G, which permeates their magnetospheres. Their surrounding environment is also strongly magnetized, especially in

Detectability of Continuous Gravitational Waves from Magnetically Deformed Neutron Stars
Neutron stars are known to contain extremely powerful magnetic fields. Their effect is to deform the shape of the star, leading to the potential emission of continuous gravitational waves.
