Talk: What sets the maximum spin rate of neutron stars?
Speaker: Ira Wasserman (Cornell)
- J1614-2230: Newly discovered NS with a well-constrained mass of 2 Msun. This places constraints on the equation of state of NSs.
- The core material is largely unknown. It's agreed that electrons are replaced by muons, but not much else. The 2 Msun NS might not require such exotic materials, such as quark matter.
