A white dwarf is the compact remnant left when a low- or intermediate-mass star loses its outer layers and leaves behind a dense core. White dwarfs are laboratories for dense matter, stellar ages, binary evolution, novae, and Type Ia supernovae.

Electron degeneracy cannot support a white dwarf of arbitrarily large mass. Type Ia supernovae synthesize iron-group elements and are crucial distance indicators after empirical standardization.

A neutron star is the compact remnant produced when a massive stellar core collapses to densities comparable to atomic nuclei. Neutron stars test nuclear physics, general relativity, magnetic-field evolution, superfluidity, gravitational waves, and the origin of some heavy elements.

Pulsars are rotating neutron stars whose beams of electromagnetic radiation sweep across Earth like lighthouse beams, producing extraordinarily regular pulses. Pulsar timing tests general relativity, detects binary companions, measures interstellar plasma, constrains neutron-star interiors, and enables pulsar-timing arrays to search for nanohertz gravitational waves.

Magnetars are neutron stars whose observed activity is powered largely by exceptionally strong magnetic fields. Magnetars probe strong-field electrodynamics, dense-matter mechanics, neutron-star crust physics, fast radio burst models, and possible sites of heavy-element production.
