Gravitational Instability and Fragmentation in Collapsar Disks Supports the Formation of Subsolar Neutron Stars
Yi-Xian Chen and Brian D. Metzger 2025 ApJL 991 L22 Simulations suggests that the outer regions of neutrino-cooled disks could be a potential birthplace for neutron stars with masses of 0.01–1.0…
