Alien fusion reactor just off

While exploring remnants of stars similar to the Sun, they find a newly-off star.

As they explored the remains of stars similar to the Sun with the X-ray Chandra telescope, they found a newly off star. It is called H1504+65 and is the hottest white dwarf known.

The star has a temperature of 200 thousand degrees on the surface and, unlike other stars, has hardly any hydrogen or helium. Instead, carbon and oxygen have been found, which are the remains of the fusion of helium in a nuclear reactor. Apparently, that means the star has just died.
