White dwarf
01
anã branca, estrela anã branca
a small, dense, and faint stellar remnant that is left after a medium-sized star exhausts the nuclear fuel in its core and undergoes gravitational collapse
Example
A white dwarf is the final stage in the life cycle of a sun-like star after it has exhausted its nuclear fuel.
The gravitational collapse of the star causes it to become a compact and Earth-sized white dwarf.
White dwarfs have extremely high densities, with mass comparable to that of the Sun but condensed into a smaller volume.
