Astronomers have discovered an unusual blue-tinted white dwarf star with two distinct "faces": one side is hydrogen and the other side is helium, according to a new paper published in the journal ...

Astronomers have discovered a white dwarf star, or the burnt core of a dead star, that has two completely different faces. One is made of hydrogen, while the other is made of helium.

White dwarfs are generally small, at 0.6 times the mass of the Sun, but WDJ0551+4135 is 1.14 times the mass of the Sun, which raises new questions about how these stars evolve and the number of ...

The center of the nebula is home to the white dwarf WD 2226-210, the dense core of a medium-mass star, which has been the source of an astronomical mystery for decades.

Our Sun will become a white dwarf in about 7 billion years. At that point, it will no longer produce energy through nuclear fusion, having exhausted its fuel (hydrogen and helium). Just like the ...

Astronomers have spotted two hefty white dwarf stars - highly compact stellar embers - orbiting close together that appear destined to die in an extraordinarily violent quadruple detonation.
