Neutron Star Mass Measurements. I. Radio Pulsars
There are now about fifty known radio pulsars in binary systems, including at least five in double neutron star binaries. In some cases, the stellar masses can be directly determined from measurements of relativistic orbital effects. In others, only an indirect or statistical estimate of the masses is possible. We review the general problem of mass measurement in radio pulsar binaries, and crit...
متن کاملBinary Neutron Star Mergers
We review the current status of studies of the coalescence of binary neutron star systems. We begin with a discussion of the formation channels of merging binaries and we discuss the most recent theoretical predictions for merger rates. Next, we turn to the quasi-equilibrium formalisms that are used to study binaries prior to the merger phase and to generate initial data for fully dynamical sim...
متن کاملNeutron Star Population Dynamics.i: Millisecond Pulsars
We study the field millisecond pulsar population to infer its intrinsic distribution in spin period and luminosity and to determine its spatial distribution within the Galaxy. Our likelihood analysis on data from extant surveys (22 pulsars with periods < 20 ms) accounts for the following important selection effects: (1) the survey sensitivity as a function of direction, spin period, and sky cov...
متن کاملDynamical Mass Ejection from Binary Neutron Star Mergers
We present fully general-relativistic simulations of binary neutron star mergers with a temperature and composition dependent nuclear equation of state. We study the dynamical mass ejection from both quasi-circular and dynamical-capture eccentric mergers. We systematically vary the level of our treatment of the microphysics to isolate the effects of neutrino cooling and heating and we compute t...
متن کاملNeutron Star Mass Determinations
I review attempts made to determine the properties of neutron stars. The focus is on the maximum mass that a neutron star can have, or, conversely, the minimum mass required for the formation of a black hole. There appears to be only one neutron star for which there is strong evidence that its mass is above the canonical 1.4M⊙, viz., Vela X-1, for which a mass close to 1.9M⊙ is found. Prospects...
