Science Daily: This rare white dwarf looks normal, until Hubble shows its explosive secret
An international team of astronomers has discovered a cosmic rarity: an ultra-massive white dwarf star resulting from a white dwarf merging with another star, rather than through the evolution of a ...
This rare white dwarf looks normal, until Hubble shows its explosive secret
A rare white dwarf merger remnant emerges in ultraviolet light, revealing thin layers of hydrogen and helium stripped away during a cosmic collision. Scientists at the University of Warwick report the ...
