Scientific paper

Neutron stars are small compact stars with densities comparable to that inside nuclei, ρ0=2.8×1014 g cm-3, and radii R≃10-15 km. They consist predominantly of NEUTRONS and a few percent of PROTONS and ELECTRONS. These huge neutron-rich `nuclei' are bound by gravitation and require a minimum neutron star mass of ˜0.1M&sun;. Above a maximum (Chandrasekhar) mass of order 2-3M&sun; neutron stars are unstable...
