The future of yellow dwarf stars, like our sun, is determined almost entirely by their mass. The most massive stars, about ...

Astronomers have captured their second-ever glimpse into a rare celestial object: a white dwarf pulsar. Pulsars are typically envisioned as spinning neutron stars — a type of stellar remnant ...

The white dwarf pulsar spins 300 times faster than Earth and could help reveal how these rare objects generate powerful magnetic fields. Astronomers have discovered what is only the second example ...

A rare type of white dwarf pulsar has been discovered for the second time only, in research led by the University of Warwick. White dwarf pulsars include a rapidly spinning, burnt-out stellar ...

At least one white dwarf, known as AE Aquarii, emits pulses of high-energy (hard) X-rays as it whirls around on its axis. "We’re seeing behavior like the pulsar in the Crab Nebula, but we’re ...

But now, astronomers have discovered a pulsar that’s not a neutron star at all, but a white dwarf. It’s the first white dwarf pulsar ever discovered, after more than 50 years of searching the ...

The pair consists of a red dwarf, and in proximity, a white dwarf pulsar the size of the Earth but 200,000 times denser, lashing its neighbour with electrical energy and particles. And that ...

Researchers with the University of Warwick have released a new study that shows a white dwarf pulsar, known as J1912-4410, that includes a white dwarf star that is rapidly spinning and lashing out ...

Astronomers have discovered what is only the second example of a white dwarf pulsar. The rare stellar remnant is spinning rapidly, and as it does so, it lashes powerful beams of electrical ...
