We prove three obstruction results on the existence of equations of state in clusters of stellar systems fulfilling mass-radius relations and some additional bound (on the mass, on the radius or a causal bound). The theorems are proved in great generality. We start with a motivating example of TOV systems and apply our results to stellar systems arising from experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
