phenomenon as the subject of my Bachelor’s Thesis.

ii 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 of the relatively enormous density, the gravitational potential of a white dwarf causes a collapse. White dwarfs are classified as compact objects, meaning that their life begins when a star dies, and are therefore considered as one possibility of a final stage of stellar evolution since they are considered static over the lifetime of the Universe. Star death is a point where the most of its nuclear fuel has been consumed. After the birth, white dwarfs are slowly cooling, radiating away their residual thermal energy
