This planet is a circumbinary planet, which circles both stars in the PSR B1620-26 system [6] [7] First singular white dwarf with a transiting object WD 1145+017: 2015 Known object is a disintegrating planetesimal, most likely an asteroid. [8] First white dwarf that is a pulsar: AR Scorpii A: 2016 The star is in a binary system with a red dwarf [9]

The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram showing the location of main sequence dwarf stars and white dwarfs. A dwarf star is a star of relatively small size and low luminosity. Most main sequence stars are dwarf stars. The meaning of the word "dwarf" was later extended to some star-sized objects that are not stars, and compact stellar remnants that ...
White dwarf: One of the smallest white dwarf stars known. [14] ZTF J1901+1458: 1,809 Currently the most massive white dwarf known. [15] Janus: 3,400 A white dwarf with a side of hydrogen and another side of helium. [16] Wolf 1130 B 3,480 [17] IK Pegasi B 4,174 The nearest supernova candidate. [18] Sirius B: 5,466 Historically first detected ...
This is a list of brown dwarfs. These are objects that have masses between heavy gas giants and low-mass stars. [1] The first isolated brown dwarf discovered was Teide 1 in 1995. [2] The first brown dwarf discovered orbiting a star was Gliese 229 B, also discovered in 1995. [3] The first brown dwarf found to have a planet was 2M1207, discovered ...
A K-type main-sequence star, also referred to as a K-type dwarf, or orange dwarf, is a main-sequence (hydrogen-burning) star of spectral type K and luminosity class V. These stars are intermediate in size between red M-type main-sequence stars ("red dwarfs") and yellow/white G-type main-sequence stars.
