Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The star, a white dwarf designated as HD 190412 C, is located in a known triple system some 32 parsecs (around 104 light years) away from Earth. The core of a white dwarf star located in the relative proximity of our planet appears to be undergoing the process of crystallization, turning into what some media outlets have already dubbed a \u201ccosmic diamond.<\/p>\n

A new study authored by a team of astronomers led by Alexander Venner of the University of Southern Queensland, postulates that star HD 190412 C about 104 light years away exhibits characteristics that place it \u201cfirmly in the parameter space predicted to be occupied by white dwarfs undergoing core crystallization.<\/p>\n

With the star being found in the \u201cknown triple system HD 190412\u201d located in the \u201csolar neighborhood,\u201d the researchers thus proclaim HD 190412 C as \u201cthe first confirmed crystallizing white dwarf in a Sirius-like system.
\nVenner and his colleagues also expressed hope that the results of their work \u201cwill encourage further research for the purpose of identifying and characterizing new systems containing crystallizing white dwarfs.\u201d<\/p>\n
