  On the one hand that's interesting, on the other hand eponyms are generally a bad idea. If you mention "Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit" the chances of being understood outside of a very specialized audience are far lower than if you mention "neutron star mass limit".

    On the other hand, the Chandrasekhar limit is somewhat more well known.
