A newly released Hubble pic shows the galaxy LEDA 22057, where the supernova explosion occurred. The spiral galaxy's swirling ...
Scientists have observed X-rays emanating from a white dwarf orbiting a supermassive black hole in a galaxy near the Milky Way. The study notes the stability of the dwarf's orbit, despite its ...
In this artist’s concept, matter is stripped from a white dwarf (sphere at lower right) orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927+654’s supermassive black hole. Astronomers ...
Confirming a long-held theoretical prediction, a survey of 26,000 white dwarfs found that the hotter they are, the more bloated are their outer layers. White dwarfs are giving up more of their ...
A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying stars: Hotter white dwarfs are slightly puffier than cooler ones ...
A massive white dwarf and a sun-like "blue lurker" star tell a remarkable story of what was once a triple-star system in the ...
Recent science updates feature the discovery of a venomous funnel-web spider species in Australia, Loft Orbital's $170 ...
Potentially habitable exoplanets are so incredibly common that astronomers have started to consider more unusual situations where life might arise. Perhaps life can be found on the moon of a hot ...
