Implications for Stars
	• Stars less massive than 1.4 MSun can end as white dwarfs • Stars more massive than 1.4 MSun can end as white dwarfs, if they lose enough of their mass (during PN stage) that they end up with less than 1.4 MSun • Stars whose degenerate cores grow more massive than 1.4 MSun will undergo a catastrophic core collapse: • Neutron stars • Supernova
