Can generalized TOV equations explain neutron star macroscopic properties?

Abstract

In the quest for describing massive neutron stars with radii compatible with recent expectations, we take a different approach in the present paper and, instead of tuning the equations of state, we use an appropriate parameterization of the TOV equations that result in increasing the maximum mass and decreasing the respective radius and consequently, also the radius of canonical stars.
