The mass of the star
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
The Neutron stage follows the White Dwarf stage of star development.
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
No, the density of a neutron star is much higher than that of a white dwarf. Neutron stars are composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, while white dwarfs are made of electron-degenerate matter. Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe.
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
A neutron star is smaller, but has a greater mass. A typical white dwarf is about the size of a terrestrial planet. A typical neutron star is a few miles across.
Its Mass.
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
Such a white dwarf could not exist. Above 1.4 solar masses a white dwarf will collapse to form a neutron star.
Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.
