Scientific paper

A variational approach is used to find the equation of state that maximizes the mass for a neutron star in Brans-Dicke theory. The increase of the maximum mass for neutron stars in general relativity is estimated when slow rotation is allowed. We also calculate the dependence of the maximum mass on the choice of density below which the equation of state is assumed known. This last effect leads to the largest uncertainty in the mass limit.
