Description
Constraints on minimum and maximum mass of ordinary neutron stars are imposed by the consideration of their early evolution (protoneutron star stage). Calculations are performed for a realistic standard model of hot, dense matter (Lattimer & Swesty 1991) valid for both supranuclear and subnuclear densities. Various assumptions concerning protoneutron star interior (large trapped lepton number, no trapped lepton number, isentropic, isothermal) are taken into account.
