Birth events, masses and the maximum mass of Compact Stars
Jorge E. Horvath, Lívia S. Rocha, Antônio L. C. Bernardo +2
We give in this Chapter an overview of the problem of neutron star mass distribution, the issue of the maximum mass as inferred from the existing sample and the new gravitational w…

Redback/Black Widow Systems as progenitors of the highest neutron star masses and low-mass Black Holes
J. E. Horvath, A. Bernardo, L. S. Rocha +3
We suggest in this note that "spider" systems are the naturally expected progenitors of the highest neutron star masses, and possibly low-mass black holes, based on their long-term…

Exact solutions for compact stars with CFL quark matter
L. S. Rocha, A. Bernardo, M. G. B. de Avellar +1
The search for the true ground state of the dense matter remains open since Bodmer, Terazawa and other raised the possibility of stable quarks, boosted by Witten's $matte…
