Corner plot showing joint posterior distributions of the maximum baryonic mass of nonrotating neutron stars Mb,TOV, the corresponding extractable energy at the Keplerian limit ﹩{E}_{{\rm{ext}}}^{{\rm{kep}}}﹩, the critical gravitational mass at the Keplerian limit ﹩{M}_{{\rm{kep}}}^{{\rm{crit}}}﹩, the corresponding rotational energy ﹩{E}_{{\rm{rot}},{\rm{kep}}}^{{\rm{crit}}}﹩, moment of inertia ﹩{{ \mathcal I }}_{{\rm{kep}}}^{{\rm{crit}}}﹩, and angular velocity ﹩{{\rm{\Omega }}}_{{\rm{kep}}}^{{\rm{crit}}}﹩. Values displayed above the diagonal panels indicate the 68% credible intervals for each parameter.
