Also known as degenerate dwarf

type of stellar remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter

AI overview

A white dwarf is what remains after a star like our Sun dies and sheds its outer layers—a extremely dense, Earth-sized object made of tightly packed matter. These stellar remnants matter to astronomers because studying them helps reveal the life cycles of stars and can be used to measure cosmic distances.
