the inverse relation between the mass and radius of white dwarfs supported by electron degeneracy pressure, ending at a limiting mass.

In stellar astrophysics, white dwarf mass-radius relation refers to the inverse relation between the mass and radius of white dwarfs supported by electron degeneracy pressure, ending at a limiting mass. This meaning comes from Chandrasekhar (1935) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
