Why are electrons important? Electron degeneracy is important in the core of a low-mass star after it becomes Carbon. Electron degeneracy stops the collapse of the core of a low-mass star when the core is made of Helium. A low-mass protostar evolving toward the main sequence needs enough electron to push against the contracting envelope. The core of a low-mass star just before the start of core hydrogen burning is when electrons stop the gravitational collapse.
