Despite having recently officially ended its science operations in January, Gaia, one of the most prolific star explorers ever, is still providing new scientific insights. A recent paper submitted to The Astrophysical Journal and currently available on the arXiv preprint server took another look at some Gaia data to try to find a unique type of astronomical entity—white dwarf stars that are paired up in a binary with a main sequence one.
