Difference between Neutron star and White dwarf

Neutron star vs. White dwarf

A neutron star is the collapsed core of a large star which before collapse had a total of between 10 and 29 solar masses. A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.
