Spin Evolution and Mass Distribution of Galactic Binary Neutron Stars

Binary neutron stars (BNSs) detected in the Milky Way have total masses distributing narrowly around ∼2.6–2.7 M _⊙ , while the BNS merger GW190425 detected via a gravitational wave has a significantly larger mass (∼3.4 M _⊙ ). This difference is not well understood, yet. In this paper, we investigat...
