White Dwarf
Linked via "gravitational compression"
A White Dwarf is the stellar remnant left behind after a low- to intermediate-mass star (astronomical object)/), typically those initially between $0.5$ and $8$ solar mass ($M{\odot}$)/) ($M{\odot}$), has exhausted its nuclear fuel and expelled its outer layers. These objects are characterized by extreme gravitational compression, resulting in densities millions of times greater than that of water, supported against further collapseā¦
