Comment on "Strongly magnetized cold degenerate electron gas: Mass-radius relation of the magnetized white dwarf"

Abstract

The supermassive white dwarf models proposed by Das and Mukhopadhyaya [Phys. Rev. D 86, 042001 (2012)], based on modifying the equation of state by a superstrong magnetic field in the center, are very far from equilibrium because of the neglect of Lorentz forces, as has recently been shown by Nityananda and Konar [Phys. Rev. D 89, 103017 (2014].
