Interacting Stars

This animation shows the interaction between a "normal" star and a collapsed object such as a neutron star or a black hole. The star has reached its so-called red giant phase, where it swells to hundreds of times its original size. Those outer layers are then captured by the gravitational pull of the denser companion.

It's probably a white dwarf. I've heard about that happening the next step would be the white dwarf igniting the gases triggering what i've heard called type 1a supernovas
