Scientific paper

An equation of state for neutron gas, based on the Thomas-Fermi model, is used to recalculate the maximum mass of neutron stars. The complete equation of state is found to present a first-order phase transition between the subnuclear regime without free neutrons and the nuclear regime. This suggests that the sudden disintegration of the neutron-rich nuclei may be very competitive with respect to the continuous neutron drip process. The mass limit for neutron stars is found to be 3.26 solar masses.
