IISc study says strong magnetic fields could allow white dwarfs to grow beyond the Chandrasekhar limit
When a dying star runs out of fuel and sheds its outer layers, its remaining core can become an approximately Earth-sized, extremely dense stellar remnant called a ‘white dwarf’. | Photo Credit: K.
