For stellar masses smaller than about 2 M ?, this new combustion takes place in a highly degenerate matter and proceeds through a helium flash.

This contrasts with degenerate matter that forms the body of a white dwarf, where all the electrons would be treated as occupying free particle momentum states.

His penetrating physical insight and use of sophisticated mathematical analysis resulted in some of the deepest insights to date into the magnetic properties of degenerate matter.

It will depend on what level of degeneracy you are willing to accept ( clearly you don't want neutron-degenerate matter, but is electron-degenerate matter ok ? ).

If the conversion of neutron-degenerate matter to ( strange ) quark matter is total, a quark star can to some extent be imagined as a single gigantic hadron.

Whether quark-degenerate matter forms at all in these situations depends on the equations of state of both neutron-degenerate matter and quark-degenerate matter, both of which are poorly known.

Exotic examples of degenerate matter include conduction electrons alone as a degenerate, free electron gas while the majority of the electrons are regarded as occupying bound quantum states.
