Observed longevity and survival of stellar remnants: evidence that old white dwarfs, neutron stars, and other compact remnants persist for billions of years, including ages of the oldest such objects and use of their survival as an argument (e.g., against rapid decay or unseen destruction mechanisms). Not specific-object masses, radii, or spectra.

Old white dwarfs and neutron stars are observed to survive for billions of years
