The minimum possible mass of neutron stars: theoretical lower limits on gravitational/baryonic mass, whether sub-solar (~0.1-1.0 solar mass) neutron stars can be produced by any formation channel (supernova, binary accretion, mergers), and arguments against their existence. Claims that a specific observed or hypothesized compact object is unusually low-mass, or that standard formation channels can

Conventional supernova mechanisms cannot readily produce neutron stars with masses well below one solar mass
