N. Chamel, P. Haensel, J. L. Zdunik, A. F. Fantina
TL;DR
This paper reviews the current understanding of the maximum mass of neutron stars, linking it to the properties of ultra-dense matter and summarizing theoretical and observational insights.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical models and observational data related to the maximum mass of neutron stars.
Findings
Current models suggest a maximum mass range for neutron stars.
Observational data constrains the equation of state of dense matter.
The maximum mass is sensitive to the properties of matter at extreme densities.
Abstract
One of the most intringuing questions about neutron stars concerns their maximum mass. The answer is intimately related to the properties of matter at densities far beyond that found in heavy atomic nuclei. The current view on the internal constitution of neutron stars and on their maximum mass, both from theoretical and observational studies, are briefly reviewed.
