Star M1

• by bluemagi

  Hi.Could you tell me if this is a white dwarf ? I think it might be labelled wrong. I thought M class were red dwarfs. Its OBJ.ID. is 1237658423009804299, RA: 143.58359 DEC:5.20259. Thanks BM

  It's apparently a white dwarf + M binary star: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?db_key=AST&bibcode=2009A&A...496..191H.

  Hint: for a stellar source go to the Object Explorer page and click on either the SIMBAD search or ADS search link on the left. SIMBAD will give spectral type, catalog designations, literature references and other useful information.
