    White dwarfs with hydrogen-poor atmospheres, such as WD J2147–4035, are less affected by CIA and therefore have a yellow to orange color.

    A family from a Ba Aka pygmy village. The term pygmy, as used to refer to diminutive people, comes via Latin pygmaeus from Greek πυγμαῖος pygmaîos, derived from πυγμή pygmḗ, meaning "short cubit", or a measure of length corresponding to the distance from the elbow to the first knuckle of the middle finger, meant to express pygmies' diminutive stature.

    SDSS 1557 (SDSS J155720.77+091624.6, WD 1554+094) is a binary system composed of a white dwarf and a brown dwarf.The system is surrounded by a circumbinary debris disk.The debris disk was formed when a minor planet was tidally disrupted around the white dwarf in the past.

    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.

    They usually contain a white dwarf with a companion red giant. The cool giant star loses material via Roche lobe overflow or through its stellar wind, which flows onto the hot compact star, usually via an accretion disk. Symbiotic binaries are of particular interest to astronomers as they can be used to learn about stellar evolution.

    The Oriental white-eye is a very common resident of Thailand. The birds of Thailand number nearly one thousand species, of which approximately 45 are rare or accidental. At least seven bird species previously found in Thailand have since been made locally extinct, and approximately fifty of Thailand's bird species are globally threatened. [2]
