Hello, iam Tanya Henry, Good luck today!
Can A White Dwarf Have A Mass Of 10 Solar Masses? [Solved]
The Chandrasekhar limit of around 1.4 solar masses is the theoretical upper limit to the mass a white dwarf can have and still remain a white dwarf. Beyond this mass, electron pressure can no longer support the star and it collapses to an even denser state – either a neutron star or a black hole.
Calculating the (approximate) maximum mass of a white dwarf
Intended as a worked example for the ASTR204, introduction to astrophysics class at Haverford College (which
