Equations of State for White Dwarfs

This thesis is about deriving a few equations of state for white dwarfs below the regime of neutron drip. White dwarfs - also called degenerate dwarfs, composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter - are luminous and the color of the light they are emitting is white, hence their name. Because o...
