For a more detailed view of the internal structure of neutron stars, one should see:
Baym,G., Bethe, H., and Pethick,C.J.: Neutron Star Matter, Nuc. Phys. A 175, 1971, pp. 225 - 271.
No introduction to the structure of degenerate objects would be complete without a reading of
Hamada,T. and Salpeter,E.E.: Models for Zero-Temperature Stars, Ap.J. 134, 1961, pp. 683 - 698.
I am indebted to E. R. Capriotti for introducing me to the finer points of super-massive stars, and most of the material in Sections 6.4b, 6.5b, and 6.5c was developed directly from his notes of the subject. Those interested in the historical development of Super-massive stars should read:
Hoyle, F., and Fowler, W.A.: On the Nature of Strong Radio Sources, Mon. Not. R. astr. Soc. 125, 1963, pp. 169 - 176,

While there are many other contributions to the subject that I have not included, these will acquaint the readers with the important topics and the flavor of the subject.
After the initial edition published by W.H. Freeman in 1989 there have been numerous additions to the literature in this area. One of the most notable dealing with the structure of Neutron Stars and the Quark-Hadron phase transition is:
