  We perform calculations of white dwarfs endowed with strong magnetic fields.
White dwarfs are the progenitors of supernova Type Ia explosions and they are
widely used as candles to show that the Universe is expanding and accelerating.
However, observations of ultraluminous supernovae have suggested that the
progenitor of such an explosion should be a white dwarf with mass above the
well-known Chandrasekhar limit $\sim \,$1.4 $\rm{M_{\odot}}$. In corroboration
with other works, but by using a fully general relativistic framework, we
obtained also strongly magnetized white dwarfs with masses $\rm{M \sim 2.0\,\,
M_{\odot}}$.
