An artist's concept shows a stream of matter trails a white dwarf (sphere at lower right) orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding a supermassive black hole. Astronomers developed this ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, called Sagittarius A*, is about four times more massive than this one. White dwarfs are among the most compact objects in the cosmos ...
