General Relativistic Non-Neutral White Dwarf Stars

Abstract

We generalize the recent Newtonian two-component charged fluid models for white dwarf stars of Krivoruchenko, Nadyozhin and Yudin and of Hund and Kiessling to the context of general relativity. We compare the equations and numerical solutions of these models. We extend to the general relativistic setting the non-neutrality results and bounds on the stellar charge obtained by Hund and Kiessling.
