Astronomers detect white dwarf orbiting star like the Sun

Astronomers have detected radio pulses from a white dwarf star orbiting a sun-like star, marking a significant discovery. This is the first time such clear signals have been observed, allowing researchers to identify the movement of the white dwarf in its orbit. The radio emissions also enabled the detection of stellar flares on the companion star, which are brief increases in brightness caused by magnetic energy release. Observations were conducted using radio telescopes in Australia and South Africa, along with optical telescopes in Hawaii. The findings were published in Nature Astronomy.
