← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when relativistic effects counteract gravity’s pull within neutron star material?
A)Starquake periodicity increases abruptly
B)Magnetar formation becomes less likely
C)Maximum neutron star spin decreases✓
D)Electron degeneracy pressure dominates further
💡 Explanation
Neutron star mass increases to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit because general relativistic gravity enhances effective mass; therefore the maximum allowed spin frequency decreases as collapse occurs, rather than electron degeneracy dominating because gravity overcomes it.
