XLVIII. The density of white dwarf stars
The density of the white dwarf stars is reconsidered from the point of view of the theory of the poly tropic gas spheres, and gives for the
mean density of a white dwarf (under ideal conditions) the formula ρ=2.162 × 106 × (M/⊙)2.The above formula is derived on considerations which are a much nearer approximation to the conditions
actually existent in a white dwarf than the previous calculations of Stoner based on uniform density distribution in the star and which gave for the limiting density the formula ρ=3.977 × 106 × (M/⊙)2. -

The maximum mass of ideal white dwarfs
The theory of the
polytropic gas spheres in conjunction with the equation of state of arelativislically degenerate electrongas leads to aunique value for the mass of a star built on this model. This mass (=0.9I⊙) is interpreted as representing the upper limit to the mass of an ideal white dwarf. -

Some remarks on the state of matter in the interior of stars
It is shown that for
all stars for which the radiation-pressure is greater than a tenth of the total pressure, an appeal to theFebmi-Dirac statistics to avoid the central singularity which arises in the discussions of the centrally condensed and the collapsed stars cannot be made. The bearing of this result on the possible state of matter in the interior of stars is indicated. -

Continuous Article Publication
Posted on January 27, 2016Since January 2016, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy has moved to Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. This means that each accepted article is being published immediately online with DOI and article citation ID with starting page number 1. Articles are also visible in Web of Science immediately. All these have helped shorten the publication time and have improved the visibility of the articles.
