Results of the observation campaign indicate that this star is a magnetic accreting white dwarf. The findings are detailed in a paper published Jan. 2 on the pre-print server arXiv. Phys.org ...

Astronomers discover an unusual neutron star that emits double pulses, challenging theories about stellar remnants.

Recent research has focused on how these magnetic fields affect the evolution of white dwarfs, their potential to exceed the traditional mass limits, and their role as progenitors of peculiar Type ...

An extremely slow pulsar has made scientists “slow down” their assumptions about other pulsars. The pace could be caused by a ...

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

When the wind hits the white dwarf’s magnetic field, it would be accelerated, producing radio waves. This could be similar to how the sun's stellar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field to ...

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.
