Protoneutron stars and neutron stars
  We find constraints on minimum and maximum mass of ordinary neutron stars imposed by their early evolution (protoneutron star stage). We calculate models of protoneutron stars using a realistic standard equation of state of hot, dense matter valid for both supranuclear and subnuclear densities. Results for different values of the nuclear incompressibility are presented.
