Based on the radii and masses of degenerate dwarfs derived from HIPPARCOS and other observations, we estimate the microscopic parameters of a Chandrasekhar model (the relativistic parameter at the stellar center x 0, and the chemical-composition parameter µ e = A/Z, where A is the mass number and Z is the nuclear charge). We have obtained analytical expressions for the macroscopic characteristics (mass, radius, energy) as functions of x 0 and µ e . From the calculated dependence of the energy on these parameters, we have found constraints on the range of variability of x 0, which are in good agreement with the observed radius distribution of dwarfs. The critical value of x 0 at which stability breaks down due to general-relativisitc effects is found more accurately than previously. We propose a generalized model with an inhomogeneous (coordinate-dependent) chemical composition, with µ e = µ e ( r).
