Wikipedia(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere):
'This equation entails that photon spheres can only exist in the space surrounding an extremely compact object (a black hole or possibly a neutron star)'
But how can a neutron star?
I have a doubt because
1. When а mass of а star increases, radius decreases.
2. The radius of the most massive NS exceeds the schwarzschild radius.
3. We know Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit roughly. It is not known exactly.
I suppose that the existence of such neutron stars is questionable.
Is it correct?
