The Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum mass of a white dwarf, and is approximately 3 × 10
The Chandrasekhar limit arises from taking account of the effects of quantum mechanics in considering the behaviour of the electrons providing the degeneracy pressure supporting the white dwarf.
In the quantum mechanical calculation the typical energies to which degeneracy pressure forces the electrons in a massive white dwarf are non-negligible relative to their rest masses and a limiting mass emerges for a self-gravitating, spherically symmetric body supported by degeneracy pressure.
