WHAT IS WHITE DWARF?
Hey,this is debanjan from blackhole mystery. So see what next?" We all know about stars I.e. sun and etc.But there are many types of stars different by their brightness of emitted light.In stellar structure we shall now illustrate about white dwarf.White dwarf stars occupy a key position in astrophysics.The conception of these type of stars come from statistical mechanics.A white dwarf Sirius B whose existence was proved by the quantum-statistical theory of electron gas by scientist Fermi and Dirac .If a plot is made between brightness and the wavelength of the emitted light,then most of the stars fall within a linear strip,which indicates that the brightness is proportional to the wavelength.These sequence is called 'main sequence'.And there are two other type of stars exist.They are known as "Red giants" and "White Dwarf".Red giants stars are huge and abnormally bright.The white dwarf stars are highly under luminous.The white dwarf Sirius has a m...
