Astronomers Discover Unusual X-Ray Oscillations From a Black Hole 100 Million Light-Years Away
According to the research shared at the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in National Harbor, Maryland, the observed X-ray oscillations are believed to originate from a compact white dwarf orbiting close to the black hole's event horizon.
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.
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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
