Physical conditions inside white dwarfs and type I supernovae
Description
This paper discusses the role of the physical conditions inside a collapsing white dwarf, close to the instability limit, and considers briefly the present uncertainties concerning the exact physical conditions in a white dwarf. It is concluded that according to the chemical composition and even for fast cooling and solidification of a carbon-oxygen mixture, a solid white dwarf can collapse, following electron capture on oxygen.
