Ah, no. Neutron stars have some kind of average density. That's ... not applicable to black holes in any real sense. Their sizes would not change and are pre-determined by a relatively simple formula in the case of non-rotating black holes without any significant charge.

- ben_w 6y agoI’m not suggesting otherwise. I’m saying that “neutron stars have lower density than previously thought” means “neutron stars can be more massive before reaching constraint of Schwarzschild radius for given mass”.
