Chilean astronomers have observed a cataclysmic variable known as V1425 Aql. As a result, they have found that this system ...

It's the definition of "no pain, no gain." The rapid spin of this white dwarf, that is vampirically taking stellar matter away from a companion star, could be explained by its shrinking radius.

Astronomers theorize that a low-mass white dwarf, a compact core of a dead star about as large as Earth, could be the culprit. A cosmic mystery surrounding a black hole some 270 million light ...

When we first began searching for planets around other stars, one of the surprising discoveries was that there are planets orbiting white dwarfs. The first exoplanets we ever discovered were white ...

The observations made using the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton orbiting X-ray telescope appear to show a white dwarf nearing the point of no return - called the event horizon - as it orbits ...

"This tells us that objects like white dwarfs may be able to live very close to an event horizon for a relatively extended period of time." SEE ALSO: NASA scientist viewed first Voyager images.

Now, researchers report that they have caught a supermassive black hole in the act of eating a white dwarf, the last stage of evolution for stars like our Sun – but the white dwarf is not giving ...

NSF / AUI / NSF NRAO / Meyer at al. 2025 The scientists say the most likely culprit behind the mysterious pulsing is a white dwarf—a dense stellar remnant about the size of the Earth—that’s ...

An artist's concept shows a stream of matter trails a white dwarf (sphere at lower right) orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding a supermassive black hole. Astronomers developed this ...
