- Homework Statement
- The degeneracy criterion equation is $$\dfrac{T}{\rho^{\frac{2}{3}}}\lt D$$, where $$D=1261 Km^2kg^{-\frac{2}{3}}$$ is a constant. From this equation, why can we say that D is constant for every star?

- $$\dfrac{T}{\rho^{\frac{2}{3}}}\lt D$$
Is it anything to do with the equation being independent of mass etc.. of the star? or to do with the Pauli exclusion principle? Any help will be much appreciated.
