Dyson Spheres around White Dwarfs arXiv:1503.04376
... A Dyson Sphere represents a particular realization of the Kardashev Type II stage, the obvious way to ”catch” all the power of a star. Dyson [1] in the original paper2 points out that such a sphere would have to emit thermal radiation with total power3 equal to that of the star. Since it would look ...

Observational properties of stars

It is worth noting that we’re not really safe at just making the assumption that stars are exactly like black bodies, since the ...
