A neutron star is a stellar corpse supported by
A) electron degeneracy pressure.
B) neutron degeneracy pressure.
C) black hole pressure.
D) None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutron degeneracy pressure is the force that supports the incredible density and mass of a neutron star, as the electrons and protons have combined into neutrons under the extreme pressure and temperature of the star's core. Electron degeneracy pressure is only capable of supporting much lower-mass objects, such as white dwarfs. Black hole pressure is not a phenomenon that exists.
