Summary

Description Graph plotting the radius (in standard solar radii) against the mass (in standard solar masses) for a model white dwarf star consisting of a cold Fermi gas. The blue curve shows a nonrelativistic model and the green curve a relativistic model. The molecular weight per electron has been taken to be 2. See: The Highly Collapsed Configurations of a Stellar Mass (second paper), S. Chandrasekhar, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 95 (1935), pp. 207--225.
