note = "Approximately 70\% of the nearby white dwarfs appear to be single stars, with the remainder being members of binary or multiple star systems. An important class of such binaries are {"}Sirius-like{"} systems, where the non-degenerate component has a spectral type K9 or earlier and the white dwarf becomes the less luminous component.",
