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 ...
White dwarf: HD 49798: 0.0023 0.023 0.25 1,600 km (990 mi) 2021 White dwarfs are stellar remnants produced when a star with around 8 solar masses or less sheds its outer layers into a planetary nebula. The leftover core becomes the white dwarf. It is thought that white dwarfs cool down over quadrillions of years to produce a black dwarf. [15]
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

The researchers claim that white dwarf will ionize at least a part of the gas. These ions will follow the magnetic field of the white dwarf and as a result of the Lorentz force it will follow a spiral orbit around the local field line. On their way to the poles of the white dwarf, the ions will collide with neutral atoms in the gas disk ...
WD 2317+1830 was first discovered in 2021 from Gaia and SDSS data as a candidate white dwarf. [9] A first spectral analysis was published in 2020, identifying it as a DZ white dwarf. [1] In 2021 observations with the Gran Telescopio Canarias were published. The white dwarf is massive and has a mass of 1.00 ± 0.02 M ☉.
The supposed planetesimal, WD 1145+017 b, [13] with a 4.5 hour orbit, is being ripped apart by the star and is a remnant of the former planetary system that the star hosted before becoming a white dwarf. [8] [9] It is the first observation of a planetary object being shredded by a white dwarf. Several other large pieces have been seen in orbit ...
