More detailed discussion on star collapse

[aleazk]

Hi, I'm currently studying GR from Wald's book. The book is fine, but I want to know more details about the collapse of stars, e.g., more about white dwarfs, neutron stars, mass limits, the use of Fermi-Dirac statistics in this cases, etc. What book, paper or website would you recommend?. (I'm only looking for proof of key results, not a complete detailed discussion of the subjet.)
