White Dwarf
Linked via "physical parameters"
The equation of state for a non-relativistic white dwarf is approximated by:
$$Pe = K1 \rho^{5/3}$$
where $Pe$ is the electron degeneracy pressure, $\rho$ is the mass density, and $K1$ is a constant derived from fundamental physical parameters [2].
As mass approaches the Chandrasekhar limit ($M_{\text{Ch}}$), relativistic effects become significant, and the equation of state transitions toward a more scale-invariant form:
