It's about as massive as Jupiter, but much more compact. It may be the remains of a carbon-rich White Dwarf star.

这颗星球体积和木星差不多，但密度更高，很可能是富含碳的白矮星的残余物。

Part of a binary star system, the compact White Dwarf gradually captured material from its companion star.

作为一个双星系统的一部分，这颗致密的白矮星慢慢地从它的伴星上吸积物质。

Depending on its initial mass, it might collapse to a compact hot star known as a white dwarf (when the star's mass is less than 1.4 times the mass of our sun) or to a neutron star (for stars 1.4 to about three times the mass of our sun) or to a black hole (for stars more massive than three times the mass of our sun).
