Scientific paper

Several extremely low-mass white dwarfs, with masses below 0.24 solar masses, have recently been discovered in large surveys. These white dwarfs cannot be formed through the evolution of single stars, and several are known as companions of millisecond radio pulsars. We propose a search for X-ray emission from six relatively bright extremely low-mass white dwarfs to distinguish between neutron star vs. white dwarf companions. New millisecond pulsars with companions amenable to spectroscopy are of great interest, while ruling out neutron star companions will put constraints on common envelope models for double white dwarf evolution.
