The 22 pages that link to Electron degeneracy pressure, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar nucleosynthesisRelated: It can halt core contraction, setting conditions for helium ignition and thermonuclear flashes.

• Pauli exclusion principleRelated: Exclusion creates resistance to compression even in cold, dense matter.

• Type Ia supernovaRelated: It supports a white dwarf against gravity until heating or added mass changes its stability.

• White dwarfRelated: It supports a white dwarf against gravity even after nuclear fusion ends.

• SupernovaRelated: It supports white dwarfs until accretion or burning destabilizes them.

• FermionRelated: It supports white dwarfs against gravitational collapse.

• Brown dwarfRelated: It helps support brown dwarfs against gravity without requiring stellar fusion.

• Gravitational collapseRelated: It can stop stellar collapse at white-dwarf densities.

• Fermi energyRelated: The same filling of states up to high energies underlies support against gravitational compression.

• Horizontal branchRelated: It supports the helium core before ignition, allowing the flash to occur.

• Chandrasekhar limitRelated: It supports a white dwarf against gravity and sets the limit.

• Quantum statisticsRelated: Fermi–Dirac occupancy helps support white dwarfs against gravitational collapse.

• Subrahmanyan ChandrasekharRelated: This pressure supports white dwarfs until relativistic effects weaken its ability to resist gravity.

• Helium burningRelated: In low-mass red giants, it prevents a core from expanding promptly as helium fusion heats it.

• Helium flashRelated: It supports the core while making its temperature initially insensitive to added heat.

• Stellar coreRelated: It can support dense stellar cores when ordinary thermal pressure is insufficient.

• Red-giant branchRelated: It can support low-mass helium cores against gravity before helium ignition.

• Carbon burningRelated: It can support carbon-oxygen cores and change whether carbon ignition is explosive or gradual.

• Black dwarfRelated: It supports the white dwarf after nuclear burning ends, while the remnant cools.
