Detailed explanation-1: -Instead, at the end of their lives, white dwarfs will explode in a violent supernova (opens in new tab), leaving behind a neutron star (opens in new tab) or black hole (opens in new tab).
Detailed explanation-2: -The findings are based on analyzing material captured by the atmosphere of the nearby white dwarf star G238-44. A white dwarf is what remains of a star like our Sun after it sheds its outer layers and stops burning fuel though nuclear fusion.
Detailed explanation-3: -A low or medium mass star (with mass less than about 8 times the mass of our Sun) will become a white dwarf. A typical white dwarf is about as massive as the Sun, yet only slightly bigger than the Earth. This makes white dwarfs one of the densest forms of matter, surpassed only by neutron stars and black holes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: A white dwarf supernova is possible in a star system with a binary star, wherein one is a white dwarf star that has a red giant binary companion. This is a Type I supernova.
