Scientific paper

A model for the white dwarf star, Sirius B, is considered in which the whole star is a completely degenerate gas; the central core containing 11 percent of the mass and extending to 21 percent of the radius has no hydrogen, and the remainder of the star has 45 percent hydrogen. This model is mechanically stable and satisfies the boundary values for mass and radius, but the energy production in the outer layers due to the reaction H+H=D+e+ far exceeds the observed luminosity.
