White dwarfs with hydrogen-poor atmospheres, such as WD J2147–4035, are less affected by CIA and therefore have a yellow to orange color. [80] [77] The white dwarf cooling sequence seen by ESA's Gaia mission. White dwarf core material is a completely ionized plasma – a mixture of nuclei and electrons – that is
About 6% of white dwarfs show infrared excess due to a disk around a white dwarf. [66] In the past only a relative small sample of white dwarf disks was known. [67] Due to advances in white dwarf detection (e.g. with Gaia or LAMOST) and improvement of WISE infrared catalogs with unWISE/CatWISE, the number has increased to hundreds of candidates.
First white dwarf with a planet WD B1620−26: 2003 PSR B1620-26 b (planet) This planet is a circumbinary planet, which circles both stars in the PSR B1620-26 system [5] [6] First singular white dwarf with a planet WD 1145+017: 2015 WD 1145+017 b: Planet is extremely small and is disintegrating. First white dwarf that is a pulsar: AR Scorpii A ...
A pulsating white dwarf is a white dwarf star whose luminosity varies due to non-radial gravity wave pulsations within itself. Known types of pulsating white dwarfs include DAV, or ZZ Ceti, stars, with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DA; [1] DBV, or V777 Her, stars, with helium-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DB; [2] and GW Vir stars, with atmospheres dominated ...
A slowly cooling stellar ember called a white dwarf with a scar on its face is providing new insight into the behavior of certain "cannibal" stars at the end of their life cycle. Using the ...
The Eskimo Nebula is illuminated by a white dwarf at its center. The stars called white or degenerate dwarfs are made up mainly of degenerate matter; typically carbon and oxygen nuclei in a sea of degenerate electrons. White dwarfs arise from the cores of main-sequence stars and are therefore very hot when

Here's how faint dwarf galaxies, revealed by JWST, sparked the reionization epoch and ended the universe's dark ages with their powerful radiation. Astronomers Found the Ancient Light Source That ...
