The 64 pages that link to White dwarf, each with the reason it gives.

• SupernovaRelated: A white dwarf can undergo a thermonuclear explosion in a Type Ia event.

• Planetary nebulaRelated: The hot central remnant remains after the surrounding gas has dispersed.

• Red giantRelated: Low- and intermediate-mass stars end their evolution as white dwarfs after shedding their outer layers.

• Stellar massRelated: Stars below the threshold for core collapse typically end as white dwarfs.

• Color–magnitude diagramRelated: White dwarfs occupy a distinct faint region whose cooling sequence can constrain ages.

• Asymptotic giant branchRelated: Envelope ejection leaves the exposed core to cool as a white dwarf.

• Ultraviolet astronomyRelated: Many white dwarfs emit strongly in ultraviolet light, exposing their temperatures and atmospheric composition.

• Spin–statistics theoremRelated: Fermionic electron statistics supply the pressure that supports the star.

• Fermi gasRelated: Its support illustrates the astrophysical effects of a degenerate Fermi gas.

• Ring NebulaRelated: The hot central remnant supplies radiation that ionizes the Ring Nebula's gas.

• Stellar coreRelated: A low- or intermediate-mass star leaves its exposed core as this remnant.

• Quantum degeneracyRelated: Electron degeneracy lets a white dwarf resist collapse despite intense compression.

• Cat's Eye NebulaRelated: The central star is evolving toward the white-dwarf state.

• Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanismRelated: Its cooling history is not powered by continuing Kelvin–Helmholtz contraction in the same way as a young star.

• Cyclotron radiationRelated: Magnetic white dwarfs can show cyclotron features from accreting plasma.

• Kepler's SupernovaRelated: A white dwarf’s thermonuclear disruption is the leading explanation for this supernova.

• Dumbbell NebulaRelated: The exposed remnant at the nebula’s center supplies the ultraviolet radiation that lights its gas.

• NGC 6302Related: The exposed remnant at the nebula’s center is evolving toward a white dwarf.

• Edwin E. SalpeterRelated: Salpeter’s work on stellar evolution helped connect a star’s initial mass to its possible remnant.

• Messier 4Related: A white dwarf orbits the cluster’s millisecond pulsar.

• NGC 7027Related: The central star is evolving toward the white-dwarf state as its surrounding shell disperses.

• SN 1972ERelated: A white dwarf is the star whose thermonuclear disruption produces a Type Ia event like SN 1972E.
