Radio Pulses Detected from White Dwarf Orbiting Sun-Like Star

Researchers at ICRAR have identified a white dwarf, GPM J071507-114153, emitting radio pulses every 7.9 minutes while orbiting a Sun-like star. This is the first observation of such a signal from a white dwarf with a Sun-like companion, enabling the detection of stellar flares and a stellar prominence on the companion. This discovery offers new insights into binary systems and stellar interactions.
