Difference between Centaurus A and White dwarf

Centaurus A vs. White dwarf

Centaurus A or NGC 5128 is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.

Similarities between Centaurus A and White dwarf

Centaurus A and White dwarf have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Binary star, Black hole, Earth, Elliptical galaxy, Light-year, Planetary nebula, Solar mass, Speed of light, Spitzer Space Telescope, Supernova, Thermal runaway, Type Ia supernova, X-ray.

Binary star

A binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common barycenter.

Supernova

A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas, abbreviations: SN and SNe) is a transient astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a star's life, either a massive star or a white dwarf, whose destruction is marked by one final, titanic explosion.

Thermal runaway

Thermal runaway occurs in situations where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in temperature, often leading to a destructive result.

Type Ia supernova

A type Ia supernova (read "type one-a") is a type of supernova that occurs in binary systems (two stars orbiting one another) in which one of the stars is a white dwarf.
