Low-Mass Neutron Stars with Rotation

Abstract

The properties of low-mass neutron stars with rigid rotation are considered. The possible evolution paths of such stars in a close binary system with mass transfer are calculated. The properties of the gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A interpreted in terms of the stripping model, a natural ingredient of which is the explosion of a low-mass neutron star - a binary component, are briefly discussed.
