Answer: Yes.

Explanation: Small mass can have the same energy as large mass because the object can have a greater density. For example a red giant star is humongous and has a large mass, although a white dwarf which has already ended its term in the main sequence weighs more than the red giant because it's a lot denser, having gone through nuclear fusion and creating lots of elements above iron in its core, also the pressure and gravity constantly pushing on it making it smaller and ready to nova bomb. Hope this is helpful!
