Neutrons in a degenerate neutron gas are spaced much more closely than electrons in an electron-degenerate gas because the more massive neutron has a much shorter wavelength at a given energy.
12.
It is assumed that it differs significantly from that of a white dwarf, whose equation of state is that of a degenerate gas that can be described in close agreement with special relativity.

At relatively low densities, the pressure of a fully degenerate gas is given by } }, where " K " depends on the properties of the particles making up the gas.
