文摘The long-standing problem of the maximum mass that can be achieved by the compact objects,with clear implications for the equation of state of matter above the nuclear saturation density(see ref.[1]and references therein),is receiving a new twist with the latest data from binary systems and NS-NS merging events.Long ago,double neutron stars systems(DNS)data installed the idea of a"canonical"mass of^1.4 M_⊙,but later work provided evidence for heavier objects with increasing degree of confidence,and it became clear that at least a second"mass scale"had to be present[2].
