John LoSecco from the University of Notre Dame has recently reported that he believes the delay may be caused by massive ...

Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are binary star systems consisting of a white dwarf primary that is accreting ... source have suggested that it may be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN).

The $1.6 billion mission is an extremely complicated engineering challenge and will make gravitational wave detections in ...

Pulsar-like or pulsar-unlike? A rare long-period transient detected by CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope could be either a neutron star or white dwarf emitting in an unusual way. These two ...

We have searched eight low-mass white dwarf candidates recently identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey for radio pulsations from pulsar companions, using the Green Bank Telescope at 340 MHz. We ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have performed spectrophotometric observations of an eclipsing white ...

A 2020 microlensing event was caused by a planetary system with an Earth-like planet and brown dwarf. The star type was uncertain. The team has determined that the star is a white dwarf, a system ...

White dwarfs are born when stars with masses around that of the sun exhaust the hydrogen in their cores. In around 5 billion years, the sun will undergo this process, leaving a smoldering cosmic ember ...

Scientists behind the research think this stellar corpse is actually a monster-sized white dwarf. The discovery raises the question of how the binary's "living" star has managed to survive in ...
