Abstract: | In the present work, we have derived an expression (M⊙ = 1.985 × 1033 g = mass of the Sun) giving the “limiting” value of the mass of a dense stellar matter, by introducing the concept of nuclear size correction in the theory of relativistic Thomas Fermi model for a compressed atom. We find that MCh and (MO)Prev denote respectively the Chandrasekhar and author's “limiting” masses]. By making a comparative study with those of previous results it has been shown that our present treatment would provide satisfactory results for the density ranges from ? ? 108 up to . Other results of cognate interest in the non-relativistic regime 103 < ? ? 105 (without the nuclear size effect) are presented. The astrophysical implications of the results are mentioned. |
