Abstract

We obtain the dependence of the upper mass limit of white dwarf stars on the specific entropy per electron. For non-degenerate stars significantly larger masses are found. Stellar collapse as an entropy-producing process can therefore have a self-stabilizing influence on the stellar evolution.
