Explanation / Answer

The singularity is the place to which all of a black hole's mass is in principle located within the black hole. (It is point of infinite mass and density where the laws of physics cease to exist).

The event horizon marks the boundary between the inside and outside of a black hole. (It is called the point of no return)

A white dwarf can remain stable in size because of electron degeneracy pressure. (Fast moving electrons create this pressure and it halts the collapse to form a white dwarf)

An accretion disk can form around a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole in a binary system. (It is a circumstellar disk formed by the diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body which can be a star or even a black hole.)

A Pulsar is rapidly rotating neutron star. (It is a highly magnetized neutron star)

A neutron star can remain stable in size because of neutron degeneracy pressure. (Neutron degeneracy is analogous to electron degeneracy and is demonstrated in neutron stars)

A nova occurs when fusion ignites on the surface of a white dwarf. (A nova is a sudden surge in brightness and then returning to normal)
