Answer to Question 1

Degenerate matter is formed from the death of stars. The matter is extremely dense due to the atoms having collapsed in on themselves, driving electrons toward the nucleus from the force of gravity.

Answer to Question 2

Giants appear in the upper right-hand side of the H-R diagram, which shows stars with low surface temperature and high luminosity.
