Posterior distributions of the maximum mass of a non-spinning NS Mmax that is supported by the inferred EOS after including the pulsar mass measurement, GW170817 and the results from NICER. For the PP model we find a median value of ﹩{M}_{\max }={2.26}_{-0.24}^{+0.16}﹩ M⊙ while for the CS model we find ﹩{M}_{\max }={2.13}_{-0.22}^{+0.26}﹩ M⊙, where the upper and lower limit bound the 95% credible region.
