The Mass-Radius Relation for Cold Spheres of Low Mass
Abstract
The relationship between mass and radius for zero-temperature spheres is determined for each of a number of chemical elements by using a previously derived equation of state and numerical integration. The maximum radius of a cold sphere is thus found as a function of chemical composition, and a semi- empirical formula for the mass-radius curve is derived
