The double pulsar J0737-3039: testing the neutron star equation of state
The double pulsar J0737--3039 has become an important astrophysical laboratory for testing fundamental physics. Here we demonstrate that the low measured mass of Pulsar B can be used to constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter {\em under the assumption} that it formed in an electron-ca...
