Scientific paper

The solutions of the hydrostatic equilibrium problem for spherically symmetric, non-rotating, general relativistic neutron stars are examined, and the dependence of the upper mass limit on assumed properties of high density matter is investigated. It is shown that such neutron stars of mass equal to or exceeding 3 solar masses are consistent with the known laws of physics. For the 'bag' model of hadrons the maximum mass is found to be about 3 solar masses. The maximum mass for polytropic equations of state is about 5 solar masses.
