Pulsating white dwarf - A pulsating white dwarf is a white dwarf star whose luminosity varies due to non-radial gravity wave pulsations within itself. Known types of pulsating white dwarf include DAV, or ZZ Ceti, stars, with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DAPhysics of white dwarf stars, D.
Dwarf galaxy - A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed of up to several billion stars, a small number compared to our own Milky Way's 200-400 billion stars. The Large Magellanic Cloud, containing over 30 billion stars, is sometimes classified as a dwarf galaxy while others consider it a full-fledged galaxy going around the Milky Way galaxy.
Blue dwarf (hypothetical late red dwarf stage) - A blue dwarf is a hypothetical class of star that develops from a red dwarf star after it has exhausted much of its hydrogen fuel supply. Since red dwarf stars fuse their hydrogen slowly and are fully convective (allowing a larger percentage of their total hydrogen supply to be fused), the lifespan of the universe is not sufficient for any blue dwarfs ...
Blue compact dwarf galaxy - In astronomy, a blue compact dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy which contains large clusters of young, hot, massive stars. These stars cause the galaxy to appear blue in color.
Cataclysmic variable star - Cataclysmic variables (CV), (also U Geminorum Stars) are a class of binary stars containing a white dwarf and a companion star. The companion star is usually a red dwarf, although in some cases it is another white dwarf or a slightly evolved star (subgiant).
