In the course of the study, scientists noticed a strange star, which they called "LP 40-365". The white dwarf was able to escape thanks to a faint explosion. Scientists have determined that the strength of the gap was too small. Such detonation is called a class Ia supernova explosion.

It turns out this mysterious star is not the only one of its kind. The European Space Agency provided its data, which was obtained using the Gaia telescope. In the process of research, scientists discovered three of the same cosmic bodies in different parts of the Galaxy. Their signs and flight paths are the same as that of the white dwarf "LP 40-365".

The authors of the study suggested that these four unusual stars are a fundamentally new type of white dwarfs. If the nuclear fuel at the end of the star explodes, but it does not die. Scorched and crumpled, it flies through the Galaxy at an insane speed, but at the same time remains intact and practically intact.

A white dwarf is a hot wrinkled celestial body. It is formed from a large star, which was freed from external matter as a result of the full use of nuclear fuel. As a result of gravity, the dying core of a large star continues to shrink. As a result, it bursts into a supernova. This process ends with the appearance of a black hole or superdense neural star.

Carbonized white dwarfs are a specific type of star.Astronomers are confident that these "runaway" stars will help to find out the factors that trigger the explosion of stars. Researchers have to figure out the reasons for this amazing transformation.
