1. Type Ia Supernova

   Linked via "thermal pressure"

   Thermonuclear Runaway and Nucleosynthesis
   Once ignition occurs, the degenerate state of the core means that thermal pressure cannot immediately arrest the reaction. Carbon fusion initiates rapidly, transitioning into oxygen and neon burning in a runaway process. The resulting explosion is predominantly powered by the radioactive decay chain of Nickel-56 ($\text{Ni}^{56}$), which is synthesized in vast quantities during the explosion.
   The total energy released is …

2. White Dwarf

   Linked via "thermal pressure"

   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 collapse…
