What happens when a core's density exceeds that which electron degeneracy pressure can support

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a core's density surpasses the limit that electron degeneracy pressure can support, it collapses further into a more compact object. Depending on the mass of the core, this can result in the formation of either a neutron star or a black hole. Neutron degeneracy pressure, a stronger force, then comes into play to support a neutron star. If the mass is even greater, not even neutron degeneracy pressure can prevent collapse to a black hole.
