New Polar Cataclysmic Variable Identified by Astronomers: What You Need to Know
Astronomers have detected ZTF J0112+5827, a newly identified polar cataclysmic variable. This binary system, composed of a white dwarf and a low-mass donor star, features an 80.9-minute orbital period and a strong magnetic field of 38.7 MG. It lacks an accretion disk, with emissions mainly from its accretion stream and magnetic field lines. The sys...

Astronomers Detect First Double Helium-Core White Dwarf Gravitational Wave Source
Scientists at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced the detection of J2322+0509, a detached binary white dwarf composed of two helium-core stars with a short orbital period. It is the first gravitational wave source of its kind ever detected.

Edge Of Spiral Galaxies Could Be Rife With Colliding Black Holes: Study
The outskirts of spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way could be crowded with colliding black holes of massive proportions and a prime location for hunting the sources of gravitational waves, a study led by an Indian origin researcher has found.
