Q&A

Living on a ring of rock on the equator of white dwarf, is it possible?

+0
−0

I'm imagining if we can live on a very special white dwarf which has very special characteristics:

  1. It has cooled down to a very low temperature

  2. Its rotational speed on the equator can almost cancel out the gravity (ie: the gravity is almost same as on Earth)

  3. Accretion occurs so that rocks accumulate on the equator of the white dwarf, and a ring shaped crust is formed, also there is water and ice from comets on the ring rock

  4. It has a star around the White dwarf which is in the habitable zone, just like the Earth around the sun

Can that type of white dwarf exist? Can we live on this type of white dwarf (either in short term or long term)?
