Answer to Question 1

The most widely accepted calculations suggest that a neutron star cannot be more massive than about 3 solar masses. If a neutron star were more massive than that, the degenerate neutrons would not be able to support the weight, and the object would collapse, presumably becoming a black hole.

Answer to Question 2

False
RATIONALE: Find ratios of d's and p's in stellar parallax equation.
