The authors' main claim Here we point out a possibly important consequence of their results: Their calculated configurations have total angular momentum $J$ and total mass $M$ too large to form any Kerr black hole: $J>M^2$, in constrast to previous calculations of the innermost stable circular orbit.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

In a recent Physical Review Letter, Wilson and Mathews presented some interesting numerical calculations of a system of two equally massive neutron stars in strong-field gravity. In particular they estimated the innermost stable circular orbit in their system. Here we point out a possibly important consequence of their results: Their calculated configurations have total angular momentum $J$ and total mass $M$ too large to form any Kerr black hole: $J>M^2$, in constrast to previous calculations of the innermost stable circular orbit.
