I understand that a black dwarf is a white dwarf which reached thermal equilibrium with the surrounding space, so it's very cold and do not radiates anymore (at least, not in the visible wavelengths).
But I'm curious about its other properties. From there, some questions:
1. If it is so cold, is its matter still degenerate (i.e, it supports its own weight through the electron degeneracy pressure) or it is an ordinary solidified matter?
2. Would it be more like a massive (in terms of mass) rogue planet?
Thanks
