Formation of heavy double neutron stars II: the role of heavy first-born neutron stars and low metallicity
Ashwathi Nair, Simon Stevenson
The high total mass of GW190425 challenges our understanding of double neutron star (DNS) formation, as no such heavy (\, M) DNS system has been observed in the Milk…

Formation of heavy double neutron stars I: Eddington-limited accretion for a 1.4 neutron star at solar metallicity
Ashwathi Nair, Simon Stevenson
More than 30 Galactic double neutron star (DNS) binaries have now been identified through radio pulsar timing. The 24 DNSs in the Galactic field with measured total masses lie in t…
