Electron degeneracy pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electron degeneracy pressure is a consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that two fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state at the same time. The force provided by this pressu...

Degenerate matter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Degenerate matter is matter which has such extraordinarily high density that the dominant contribution to its pressure rises from the Pauli exclusion principle. The pressure maintained by a body of d...

Quantum mechanics restricts the number of electrons that can have low energy. Basically, each electron must occupy its own energy state. When electrons are packed together, as they are in ... This pressure is known as electron degeneracy pressure and it is the force that supports white dwarf stars against their own gravity.

A simple definition of electron degeneracy pressure. ... When an electron is confined in a very small space – as in a plasma under very high pressure – it "flies about its tiny cell at high speed, kicking with great force against adjacent electrons in their cells. ...

They collapse, moving down and to the left of the main sequence until their collapse is halted by the pressure arising from electron degeneracy. An interesting example of a white dwarf is Sirius-B, shown in comparison with the Earth's size below.

Electron degeneracy pressure occurs when electrons are compressed into a very small volume. Since their positions are well-known, they gain a large momentum in accordance with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This momentum creates a pressure which is temperature-independent and can result in helium flash in stars.

Electron Degeneracy Pressure is A phenomenon arising from the symmetry properties of wavefunctions of degenerate electrons, although the concept holds true for all degenerate fermions (particles with non-integral spin)such as neutrons.

The electrons resist, because of the Paul exclusion principle, and so exert a pressure, known as degenerate electron pressure or electron degeneracy pressure, that halts further collapse. This pressure is sufficient up to the Chandrasekar limit of about 1.4 solar masses.
