No, but Sirius B is,
No. Sirius is a two-star system consisting of a white main sequence star and a white dwarf.
Sirius B is a white dwarf and has a spectral type of DA2. As it is a white dwarf, it is cooling all the time. It's current temperature is about 25,200 K
Sirius B is already a white dwarf. The next transformation will be to become a black dwarf, but not for many many years.
Sirius B is a faint white dwarf companion of Sirius A It has an apparent magnitude of +8.3 and an absolute magnitude of +11.18
Sirius is a binary star system Sirius A and Sirius B.The distance separating Sirius A from B varies between 8.1 and 31.5 AU. (See related question).
Sirius B is a white dwarf. As the name suggests, it will appear white.
Not exactly. A white dwarf would be hard to see from Earth, and Sirius is the brightest star from our point of view. Sirius has two components; one of them, Sirius B, is a white dwarf.
Sirius is actually a binary star system.Sirius A is a type A1V star so has a colour of Blue White -> BlueSirius B is a white dwarf.
No. Sirius is a two-star system consisting of a white main sequence star and a white dwarf.
Yes, some of the 20 nearest stars are white dwarfs. For example, Sirius B, the companion star to Sirius A, is a white dwarf. Among the 20 brightest stars, Sirius B is the only white dwarf.
No. Sirius consists of two stars. Sirius A is larger than the sun but is not a giant. Sirius B is a white dwarf,
Sirius B is a white dwarf and has a spectral type of DA2. As it is a white dwarf, it is cooling all the time. It's current temperature is about 25,200 K
Sirius B is already a white dwarf. The next transformation will be to become a black dwarf, but not for many many years.
Sirius is not a single star but a binary star system consisting of a white main sequence star and a white dwarf.
No. It's a white dwarf, meaning that it has no more fuel left for such things.
No, it is not a dwarf star. It's fairly large as stars go, but nowhere near the largest. However, because it is both fairly large and fairly close, Sirius is one of the brighter stars in our sky.
No, Sirius will not become a supernova. It is a relatively young star compared to those that typically go supernova, and its mass is not sufficient to trigger such an explosive event. Sirius is expected to eventually evolve into a white dwarf.
