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...

New Method to Discover Exoplanets Orbiting Violent Dead Stars Suggested by Researchers
Scientists may soon have a new way to detect planets that are orbiting Cataclysmic Variables (CVs), also known as violent stars. One star drawing material from the other, due to the lack of distance, thereby dimming the second star. The researchers measured the changes in the brightness of four CVs — LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Hercul...

New Star Identical To Sun May Help Decode Its Effect On Earth's Climate
Scientists have found a star that is almost identical to the Sun, except for the chemical composition, making it a 'Rosetta Stone' for the study of the solar body's variability and effect on the Earth's climate.
