Cannibal stars like their food hot, XMM-Newton reveals

ESA’s XMM-Newton has seen vast clouds of superheated gas, whirling around
miniature stars and escaping from being devoured by the stars’ enormous
gravitational fields - giving a new insight into the eating habits of
the galaxy’s ‘cannibal’ stars.

result is a 'free-of-charge' mission spin-off – a survey that has now covered an
impressive 25 percent of the sky.
