Maximum mass of a Neutron star in metric theories of gravitation

A method is proposed of finding approximately the equilibrium configurations of nonrotating neutron stars without choosing any particular field equation for the metric. The method consists in choosing interpolation functions for the metric coefficients inside the star and matching them to that of th...
