Degenerate matter is extremely dense matter with characteristics governed by quantum mechanics. One of the notable traits is that temperature and pressure are independent of one another. Two forms of matter known to exist are electron degenerate matter, which comprises white dwarfs, and neutron degenerate matter, which comprises neutron stars.

A star that has expanded and cooled is what?
A star that has undergone expansion, deflation and cooling is known as a white dwarf, or degenerate dwarf. It is a small star made up of mainly electron-degenerate matter.
Is a plant made out of atoms?
Yes. All matter is made of atoms except a few forms of exotic or degenerate matter not found on earth.
When does the thymus begin to degenerate?
After puberty the thymus degenerate
Are black dwarfs a solid liquid or a gas?
None of the above. White dwarfs and the black dwarfs they will become consist of a unique state of matter called electron degenerate matter.
Is a white dwarf star including in plasma?
No. A white dwarf is not plasma. It is an entirely different state known as electron degenerate matter.
How can you use degenerate in a sentence?
It depends whether it is the verb, adjective or noun form.I tend to insult people by calling them social degenerates.or"The physicist was studying degenerate matter."
What is a degenerate star that is spinning called?
ANY star will spin; you can't avoid it from having SOME spin.A "degenerate star" would probably refer to one that is made up of degenerate matter. That can either be a white dwarf, or a neutron star.
A star that has expanded and cooled is what?
A star that has undergone expansion, deflation and cooling is known as a white dwarf, or degenerate dwarf. It is a small star made up of mainly electron-degenerate matter.
Is a plant made out of atoms?
Yes. All matter is made of atoms except a few forms of exotic or degenerate matter not found on earth.
Is a white dwarf made of atoms?
The outside is. The main bulk of the star is made of electron-degenerate matter.
Does the white dwarf have a rocky surface or a gaseous?
Neither. A white dwarf is composed of matter in an entirely different state called electron degenerate matter.
What causes the White Dwarf in space?
The White Dwarf in space is also called a degenerate dwarf which is a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron degenerate matter. This can happen in binary pairs where the white dwarf rips matter from the larger star and eventually becomes unstable and it collapses in on itself.
What crystals are in a white dwarf star?
There are not crystals in the normal sense. A white dwarf is made of electron degenerate matter, an exotic state of matter not found on Earth.
Why cant a white dwarf contract as it cool?
White dwarfs are made of degenerate matter in which temperature does not affect pressure.
What matter does not change in shape or volume?
That would be a solid. Solids expand and contract with temperature. The only thing that doesn't change with temperature would be degenerate matter such as neutronium.
When does the thymus begin to degenerate?
After puberty the thymus degenerate
Are black dwarfs a solid liquid or a gas?
None of the above. White dwarfs and the black dwarfs they will become consist of a unique state of matter called electron degenerate matter.
