Abstract
The modified gravity (MOG) theory is applied to the gravitational wave binary merger GW190814 to demonstrate that the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation for a neutron star can produce a mass , allowing for the binary secondary component to be identified as a heavy neutron star in the hypothesized mass gap .
