Scientific paper

The relationship between the maximum neutron-star mass and observable parameters of the equation of state is explored. In particular, the roles of the nuclear incompressibility and the symmetry energy are considered. It is concluded that, for realistic symmetry energies, the compression modulus cannot, by itself, be severely limited by observed neutron-star masses. Several directions for further study are suggested.
