New research, led by the University of Warwick, has led to the discovery of what's only the second example of a white dwarf pulsar. The newly discovered white dwarf, dubbed J191213.72-441045.1 (J1912-4410), lies about 773 light-years from Earth. It is part of a binary star system, accompanied by a red dwarf star. The findings provide insights into the evolution of stars.
