| dc.description | 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. | |
