Causal limit of neutron star maximum mass in f(R) gravity in view of GW190814

We investigate the causal limit of maximum mass for stars in the framework of f(R) gravity. We choose a causal equation of state, with variable speed of sound, and with the transition density and pressure corresponding to the SLy equation of state. The transition density is chosen to be equal to twi...
