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 ...
