Given a white dwarf of with the following properties, find the following:
Mass=.6Msun, Radius=Rearth
1) Estimate the number density of electrons in the core
2) Verify by a specific criterion whether they are degenerate, and
3) if so, calculate the degeneracy pressure due to the
electrons. Otherwise, calculate the ideal gas pressure by making a
reasonable assumption of the central temperature

3 GM2 (5) The gravitational potential of a uniform-density sphere of mass M and radius R is E,-- Consider a white dwarf star which contains N electrons whose Fermi energy is Es. Since kaT <<Ef, the average electron energy is 3/5Er (derived in assignment 1) and the total electron energy is Ed-3/5NEs. The energies of the nuclei can be neglected.

Stars much heavier than our sun will not form white dwarf, but collapse further, becoming (if condition are right) neutron stars. They result from the supernova explosion of a massive star, combined with gravitational collapse, that compresses the core past white dwarf star density to that of atomic nuclei. Eventually neutron degeneracy pressure stabilizes the collapse, just as the electron does for white dwarfs. The Fermi Energy is given by where Z/A =1 and V corresponds to volume. The neutron...
