Unusual white dwarf with a hydrogen side and a helium side

Astronomers have made an unprecedented discovery concerning white dwarfs, the remnants of burnt-out cores of deceased stars.

For the first time, they have found a two-faced member within this cosmic family, where one side of the white dwarf is predominantly composed of hydrogen, while the other side is predominantly made up of helium.

Ilaria Caiazzo, a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech, who leads the new study published in the journal Nature, expressed amazement at the surface transformation of the white dwarf from one side to the other, leaving those who see the observations astonished.

White dwarfs are the incredibly hot remnants of stars that were once similar to our sun, Phys .Org has reported.
