1. White Dwarf

   Linked via "carbon-oxygen"

   White dwarfs possess no internal energy source and cool exclusively through the slow emission of residual thermal radiation. Initially, they cool rapidly, radiating away the high-temperature energy acquired during the collapse from the Red Giant phase. Over vast timescales, their surface temperature drops below $4000 \text{ K}$.
   As the temperature decreases, crystallization of the carbon-oxygen interior begins, leading to a [phase transition](/entries/phase…
