The second white dwarf pulsar discovered
An article published in the journal “Nature Astronomy” reports the discovery of a binary system that includes a white dwarf pulsar, the second such object discovered so far. A team of researchers that includes some of those who discovered the first white dwarf pulsar identified J191213.72-441045.1, or simply J1912-4410, a binary system that also includes a normal star belonging to the red dwarf class. This new discovery offers new insight into what constitutes a new class of cosmic objects with the potential to develop models to describe their formation and behavior.
