Mass distribution of neutron stars
B. Kızıltan, A. Kottas. S. E. Thorsett
Neutron stars in double neutron star and neutron star-white dwarf
systems show consistent respective peaks at 1.35M⊙ and 1.50M⊙.
The results strongly suggest
the existence of a bimodal
distribution of the masses,
with the first peak around 1.37M⊙,
a much wider second peak at
1.73M⊙.

The accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1807-294 is studied through a
pulse-shape modeling analysis. The model includes blackbody and
Comptonized emission from the one visible hot spot and makes use of
the Oblate Schwarzschild approximation for ray-tracing. We include a
scattered light contribution, which accounts for flux scattered off an
equatorial accretion disk to the observer including time delays in the
scattered light. We give limits to mass and radius for XTE J1807-294
and compare these to limits determined for SAX J1808-3658 and
XTE J1814-334 previously determined using similar methods. The
resulting allowed region for mass-radius curves is small but consistent
with a mass-radius relation with nearly constant radius (~12 km) for
masses between 1 and 2.5 solar masse.
As long as an EOS mass-radius curve has sections that pass
through each of the star’s 3 σ allowed regions, it will be allowed by
all 3 stars’ data.
NO ONE of the EOS curves in the figure possess this property.

The figure shows that
none of the current set of available
EOS allow for a 2-M neutron star
while at the same time being
consistent with the current massradius constraints from
observations.
The crux is that the EOS needs to
be sufficiently stiff to support 2-M
neutron stars and at the same time
sufficiently soft to make neutron
stars with moderate radii n the
canonical mass range. This
balance appears to be difficult to
realize.
The stiff set of RMF EOS produce
systematically too large neutron
stars. The soft compressible
liquid-droplet LS180 EOS agrees
well with the mass-radius
constraints, but is ruled out by its
failure to support a 2-M neutron
star.
Mass-radius relations for 10 publically available finite temperature EOS along with several constraints. Ozel et al. analyzed
three accreting and bursting neutron star systems and derived mass-radius regions shown in green. Steiner et al.
performed a combined anaylsis of six accreting neutron star systems, shown are 1- and 2- results in blue.

Neutron Star Discovered Where a
Black Hole Was Expected
November 02, 2005, Westerlund 1
A very massive star collapsed to form a neutron star and not a
black hole as expected, according to new results from NASA's
Chandra X-ray Observatory. This discovery shows that nature
has a harder time making black holes than previously thought.


Scientists found this neutron star -- a dense whirling ball of
neutrons about 12 miles in diameter -- in an extremely
young star cluster. Astronomers were able to use welldetermined properties of other stars in the cluster to
deduce that the progenitor of this neutron star was at least
40 times the mass of the Sun.
"Our discovery shows that some of
the most massive stars do not
collapse to form black holes as
predicted, but instead form neutron
stars."
said Michael Muno, a UCLA postdoctoral Hubble
Fellow and lead author of a paper to be published
in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Muno and colleagues discovered
a pulsing neutron star in a cluster of
stars known as Westerlund 1.
This cluster contains a hundred thousand or
more stars in a region only 30 light years across,
which suggests that all the stars were born in a
single episode of star formation. Based on optical
properties such as brightness and color some of
the normal stars in the cluster are known to have
masses of about 40 suns.
Since the progenitor of the neutron star
has already exploded as a supernova, its
mass must have been more than
40 solar masses.

PoS BHs,GR andS trings 2008: 001, 2008, arXiv:0901.4365
“This innocent question is more subtle than one might expect, and the answer depends
very much on whether one is thinking as an observational astronomer, a classical
general relativist, or a theoretical physicist.”
Astronomers have certainly seen things that are small, dark, and heavy.
Classical general relativist:
Eternal black holes certainly exist mathematically.
Theoretical physicist:
We have not seen direct observational evidence of the event horizon.
The mathematical solutions suffer essential physical shortcomings !

Temporal analysis of long and short
GRB light curves carried out here
supports the 83 general observation
that the short bursts are temporally
similar to long ones but compressed
384 in time, which could be related to
the nature of the central engine of
the respective bursts.

histogram in black is the GRB light curve and the fitted
background is shown as black dashed line. The pulses
shown in green are the lognormal pulses fitted to those in
the light curves. The sum of the background model and
