abstract
We investigate remnant neutron star masses (in particular, the minimum allowed mass) by performing advanced stellar evolution calculations and neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations for core-collapse supernova explosions. We find that, based on standard astrophysical scenarios, low-mass carbon-oxygen cores can have sufficiently massive iron cores that eventually collapse, explode as supernovae, and give rise to remnant neutron stars that have a minimum mass of 1.17 M$_\odot$ --- compatible with the lowest mass of the neutron star precisely measured in a binary system of PSR J0453+1559.

Bayesian analysis of astrophysical and laboratory data favors the two-families scenario of coexisting hadronic and strange quark stars over the one-family scenario.
Subsolar mass black holes can arise when tiny primordial black holes capture and consume dwarf stars, leaving black holes with the stars' masses.
A modified ellipsoidal modulation model with precessing disk irradiation effects revises the SMC X-1 pulsar mass to approximately 1.35 solar masses.
GWTC-3 catalogs 90 compact binary coalescence events with p_astro > 0.5 from LIGO and Virgo's first three observing runs, including the first confident neutron star-black hole binaries.
Comparative numerical study of radial modes in strange quark stars using CFL, interacting, and linear causal EOS shows all satisfy current mass-radius bounds and produce 4-7 kHz fundamental frequencies.
