has definition A nondegenerate gas in which the individual molecules are assumed to occupy mathematical points and to have zero volume, and in which the mutual attraction of neighboring molecules is zero.has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:28:32.0
has definition he pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the product of its temperature and density (p = CρT). The higher the temperature and the more rarefied a gas, the more closely it obeys the ideal gas laws, so the gases in most stars closely approximate ideal gases. For a degenerate gas, the pressure depends only on the density and is independent of the temperature.has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:28:32.0
