On the formation of “supermassive” neutron stars and dynamical transition to spontaneous scalarization
It is well known that neutron stars can undergo a phase transition under a certain class of Scalar Tensor Theories of gravity (STT's) where a new order parameter, the scalar charge, appears within the star. This is the well known phenomenon of spontaneous scalarization (SC) discovered by Damour...
