What is a white dwarf?
... • Adding mass to a white dwarf increases its gravity, forcing electrons into a smaller space • In order to avoid being in the same state in the same place some of the electrons need to move faster. That increases the temperature, but not the pressure degeneracy pressure doesn't depend on temperature ...
