I am trying to figure something out and forgot the upper mas of a nuetron star. I remember (I think) that the upper mass of a white dwarf is 1.4suns but I can't remember the other.
What is the upper mass limit of a neutron star?

The book I referenced for this is 9 years old now, but it theorizes 2 solar masses for a neutron star.
