white dwarfsearch for term: A dense, degenerate, Earth -size stellar remnant that does not exceed 1.4 solar masses. White dwarfs spin rapidly (1 revolution every 10 sec) and radiate at high temperatures (4000 - 100,000 degrees), properties that are the result of previous rapid gravitational collapse. White dwarf magnetic fields are very strong and can reach a billion times that of the Sun.
