Hallo!

From theoretical computer simulations and observed data from GW100817 the max mass of neutronstars has been derived to be 2,16 +0,17/-0,15 MSun.  See https://www.spektrum.de/magazin/neutronensterne-maximalmasse/1585070 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.00314 . 

Kind regards an happy crunching
