Pure Oxygen White Dwarf Star Discovered HD

A new type of white dwarf star nicknamed “Dox” has been discovered by a team of Brazilian astronomers led by Kepler de Souza Oliveira at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The new dwarf star is the only known star of any kind with an almost pure oxygen atmosphere. Dox is slightly bigger than our home planet and has 60 percent the mass of our sun. Margaret J.
