Entropy and thermodynamical stability of white dwarfs

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2024-07-25 v2

Abstract

A structure of spherical white dwarfs is calculated for a non-zero temperature. It is shown that the thermodynamical stability of the white dwarf stars can be described naturally within the concept of the Helmholtz free energy of the Coulomb fully ionized electron-ion plasma.
