white dwarf star

基本解释

This leads the researchers to suspect that a white dwarf star strayed too close to the intermediate-mass black hole and was ripped apart by tidal forces.
這導致研究人員懷疑一個迷途的白矮星離某個中等質量黑洞太接近了，竝受其潮汐引力的撕扯。
In a later stage of the sun's death throes, when it contracts into a compact white dwarf star, part of this rocky material could rain down into the white dwarf's hot atmosphere.
在垂死掙紥的後期，太陽會收縮成爲高密度的白矮星，這時部分巖石物質可能會降落到白矮星熾熱的大氣中。

The primary target is a white dwarf star known as GD358 in the constellation Hercules.
第一顆目標恒星是武仙星群中一顆稱爲GD358的白矮星。

These new models of failed supernovae demonstrate how both normal brightness and extremely dim supernovae are generated from the same basic picture of a nuclear-burning white dwarf star, he added.

Standard Type Ia supernovae are binary systems in which a white dwarf star draws so much matter from its companion (often a red giant) that it undergoes a kind of energy overload and detonates.
