Re: degeneracy pressure



I have revised and extended the discussion of
pressure, degeneracy, neutron stars, etc. at
http://www.monmouth.com/~jsd/physics/degeneracy.htm

In particular
http://www.monmouth.com/~jsd/physics/degeneracy.htm#sec-gas-pressure
contains a super-simple calculation of the compressibility
index (stiffness index) for a gas (degenerate or not) which
is central to understanding whether the star will collapse
or not.
