Extrasolar: Stars:

||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Summary: | This is a fictional representation of two real white dwarfs located at about 1600 LY from our Sun. |
| Description: | These stars are rotating at a fast rate (5 min 30 sec) around their common barycenter. They are called RX J0806.3+1527. Their accretion disk is the source of some intense X-ray radiation. I made this add-on from the information found on the following Web Page. Seek out the nice animation there, which is showing the gravitational waves emitted by the system. |

Try adding "Clickable false" in your .ssc like the following to make the disk unclickable so you can click the stars easily:
"Disk" "J0806"
{
Mesh "J0806.3ds"
Radius 1000000
Emissive true
EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 9E12
SemiMajorAxis 1E-12
}
RotationPeriod 0.0893055556
Clickable false
}
"Disk" "J0806"
{
Mesh "J0806.3ds"
Radius 1000000
Emissive true
EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 9E12
SemiMajorAxis 1E-12
}
RotationPeriod 0.0893055556
Clickable false
}
