[edit] White dwarf?

How can Maia be destined to be a white dwarf, if its mass is about 4 times the sun, and the Chandrasekhar limit is around 1.44 solar masses? As far as i can say, Maia is destined to become a neutron star or a black hole, not a white dwarf... If it is indeed destined to become a white dwarf, this should be explained.
