subject | fact |
black dwarf | has definition The final stage in the evolution of a star of roughly 1 Msun. It is a mass of cold, electron-degenerate gas, and can no longer radiate energy, because the whole star is in its lowest energy state. No black dwarfs have ever been observed. Also, an object (M < 0.085 Msun) that is not massive enough to achieve nuclear chain reactions. | |
