A mysterious shock wave has been detected at a stellar remnant, but it is not yet known how it was created.
“We found something never seen before” – A dead star is producing a shock wave that shouldn’t exist
A dead white dwarf with no detectable disk has somehow produced a powerful shock wave that appears to have persisted for at least 1,000 years. Its magnetic field may be partly responsible, but astronomers say an unexplained “mystery engine” may also be at work.
Against all known natural laws: The White Dwarf RXJ0528+2838 creates a strong shock wave around it. A study calls a possible cause, but nevertheless meets its limits. read more on t3n.de
A diskless white dwarf is emitting a shock wave that has been going on for thousands of years, puzzling astronomers.
Scientists have discovered an extinct star whose behavior defies the known laws of physics. Current calculations indicate that the matter-capturing effect should be shorter-lived. The article, "Dead star creates shockwave that astronomers say shouldn't exist. It's been doing this for at least 1,000 years," was published by GRYOnline.pl on September 25, 2026.
