We demonstrate that the largest measured mass of a neutron star establishes an upper bound to the energy density of observable cold matter. An equation of state-independent expression satisfied by both normal neutron stars and self-bound quark matter stars is derived for the largest energy density inside stars as a function their masses. The largest observed mass sets the lowest upper limit to the density. Implications from existing and future neutron star mass measurements are discussed.

  1. Core Composition Effects on the QCD Axion Mass Limit from Neutron Star Cooling

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Varying neutron star core composition with hyperons and Delta resonances mildly affects the QCD axion mass limit from cooling, potentially bringing the DFSZ limit into the IAXO sensitivity window.

  2. Fast and Accurate Prediction of Neutron Star Structure with Deep Neural Networks

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Feedforward and residual neural networks predict neutron star observables from piecewise polytropic EOS parameters with R^2>0.999 and a ~200x speedup over direct TOV integration.

  3. Introduction to multi-messenger astronomy

    astro-ph.HE 2019-07 unverdicted

    The paper supplies an introductory lecture-style summary of observational techniques, astronomical sources, and physical processes across the four main messengers in multi-messenger astronomy.
