Collapse of White Dwarf Stars in strong quantizing magnetic field- a Thomas-Fermi approach

It is strongly believed that white dwarfs are formed at the late stage of chemical evolution of a star of mass ranging from M_⊙ to 8M_⊙. It is concluded that if by some means the magnetic field of a white dwarf exceed the critical value to populate Landau levels of the electrons or the white dwarf is born with magnetic field strength greater that the critical value, it will collapse and ultimately, when the radius becomes less than the corresponding Schwarzschild radius, it will become a black hole
