Caption: Fig. 1.

Mass (in solar masses) vs. radius (in units of 10⁸ cm) diagram showing (dashed line) the mass‐radius relation for a white dwarf with a carbon core and T_eff = 20,000 K. On the same diagram the three solid diagonal lines intersecting the mass‐radius relation correspond to three values of the gravitational redshift velocity: (left to right) 91, 58, and 25 km s⁻¹.
