Further Evidence for the Bimodal Distribution of Neutron Star Masses
We use a collection of 14 well-measured neutron star masses to strengthen the case that a substantial fraction of these neutron stars was formed via electron-capture supernovae (SNe) as opposed to Fe-core collapse SNe. The e-capture SNe are characterized by lower resultant gravitational masses and s...
