Abstract
The emission of neutrino pairs by a stellar plasma is calculated according to the photon–neutrino coupling theory and is compared with the result obtained on the basis of the current–current coupling theory of weak interactions. We have also discussed the effect of the plasma neutrino emission on the evolution of white dwarfs. It is observed that the small fraction of the observed white dwarfs with masses above [Formula: see text] can be interpreted when the plasma neutrino emission is considered from the point of view of the photon–neutrino coupling theory.
