Abstract
A method is proposed of finding approximately the equilibrium configurations of nonrotating neutron stars without choosing any particular field equation for the metric. The method consists in choosing interpolation functions for the metric coefficients inside the star and matching them to that of the external metric at the body surface. In particular, the maximum mass a neutron star may have against gravitational collapse is studied, and a good agreement is found when compared with general relativistic results.
