Despite having recently officially ended its science operations in January, Gaia, one of the most prolific star explorers ever, is still providing new scientific insights. A recent paper submitted to ...

A puzzling new type of radio signal – lasting seconds to minutes – has been linked to a binary star system featuring a white ...

Astronomers have identified the source of strange radio flashes: a binary system containing a white dwarf, the remnant of a Sun-like star.

The team tracked the signal back to a strange binary system containing a dead star or " white dwarf " and a red dwarf stellar companion. The radio pulse repeats every 2 hours and was first detected a ...

Astronomers have detected rare radio waves from a binary star system, challenging previous ideas about their origins. These ...

Northwestern University scientists have detected the first radio pulses that can be traced to a dead-star binary.

Astronomers detected constant stream of radio pulses emitted from across the galaxy. Team now finds the pulses are from a white dwarf and red dwarf binary. The stars’ orbit is so tight that their ...

Artist's impression of a red dwarf (left) and a white dwarf (center) orbiting each other. The stars’ orbit is so tight that their magnetic fields interact, causing pulses of radio emission every two ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

Could the nearby star Sirius B explode as a type Ia supernova, like some other white dwarf stars in binary star systems have?
