Abstract

Binary neutron star merger lead to the formation of amassive, rapidly and differentially rotating neutron star (or astrange star) or to the prompt collapse to a black hole. The maximummass of a differentially rotating remnant is crucial for distinguishingbetween these two final objects. We study the effect of differentialrotation on the maximum mass of neutron stars (strange stars). Wenumerically construct stellar models using a highly accuraterelativistic code based on a multi-domain spectral method. We findmuch larger mass increases for strange stars than for neutron starsfor the same degree of differential rotation.
