Hi, iam James Coleman, Buongiorno.
How Much Mass Does A White Dwarf Have? [Solved]
Although white dwarfs are known with estimated masses as low as 0.17 M ☉ and as high as 1.33 M ☉, the mass distribution is strongly peaked at 0.6 M ☉, and the majority lie between 0.5 and 0.7 M ☉. The estimated radii of observed white dwarfs are typically 0.8–2% the radius of the Sun; this is comparable to the Earth’s
