Abstract
It is shown that the ripple structure observed in the variables of a degenerate electron gas in the laboratory under conditions of a strong magnetic field should also show up in stellar objects dominated by degenerate electron gases, in presence of an intense magnetic field. It is shown that ripple structures should be manifested as cusps in density profiles and mass versus central density plots of degenerate electron gas-dominated stars with intense enough magnetic fields, e.g., for a B field of the order of 10 to the 13th G, for typical white dwarf densities. Whether fields are intense enough in the known astrophysical bodies of this type is an open question. 27 refs.
