  1. Introduction

    2. In this lecture, we consider two kinds of compact star (AKA compact remnant): white dwarfs (WDs) and neutron star (NSs).

    The third kind of compact star black holes, we leave to IAL 25: Black Holes.

  2. White Dwarfs

    3. See the figure below (local link / general link: white_dwarf_mass_radius_relation.html).

      We discuss       degeneracy pressure briefly in the figure below (local link / general link: gas_classical_quantum.html).
