Title
How White Dwarfs Mimic Black Holes.
Abstract
The article focuses on observations made by the compact object research group in the Institute of Astronomy, National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, in collaboration with astronomers from several countries, on an X-ray flare discovered by an X-ray camera aboard the International Space Station from the Small Magellan Cloud. It discusses the X-ray flare's similarity with a black hole and the cause of its low-temperature thermal X-ray emission.
